Chicago White Sox 2024 World Series Odds
Whatever bad is said about the Chicago White Sox, it is never bad enough. The White Sox are a putrid team with no appeal to fans or gamblers. At the approach of the All-Star break, the White Sox have the worst record in baseball, and that is not likely to change for the rest of the season. The question that gamblers have is if the White Sox might have a slight market correction since they are at a rate that has rarely been seen or a losing ball club.

In 2020, the Chicago White Sox were the most aggressive team in the offseason and finally made a serious commitment to winning. The White Sox produced two playoff seasons before falling back to what they have been for most of the past decade. But last year was not even mediocre. Instead, the roof caved in on the White Sox and with a 101-loss season. After an offseason that failed to move the needle, the White Sox are a team that has been ignored in the 2024 future market. Another miserable season is ongoing.
Last season, the White Sox became a team to avoid. Gamblers found them an easy team to oppose for profits. Otherwise, Chicago had nothing to offer gamblers.
New general manager Chris Getz predictably overhauled the roster after a 101-loss season. Still, the White Sox’s top trade chip, starter Dylan Cease, took a long time to move amid reports that Chicago’s asking price has been too high for a pitcher with a 4.58 ERA last season. Cease is now with the San Diego Padres.
They also hung onto other players too long keeping most of last year’s 29th-ranked lineup intact aside from Tim Anderson’s free-agent exit.
There were some interesting moves at the margins, including swapping relievers Aaron Bummer and Gregory Santos for quantity-over-quality grab bags and taking an intriguing $15 million flier on starter Erick Fedde returning from Korea, but this has been the disjointed winter of a team that must jump into the full-scale rebuild it likely needs.
