The Guardians had an off day, but the White Sox turned up the heat — beating the Tigers and flipping the AL Central race. Both teams are now tied at 78-75, but Chicago holds the tiebreaker, meaning Cleveland must finish at least one game ahead to claim the division. With nine games left, every win is critical — they can’t just match Chicago’s record, they have to outpace them. A division title means a first-round playoff bye, which is huge for rest and home-field advantage. While Cleveland still leads the wild card race, their real goal is the division crown. The margin for error? Zero. This is where the season gets real.
