A pair of first-place teams will square off when the Houston Astros visit the Chicago White Sox to open a three-game series Friday night.
Chicago has a healthy eight-game lead in the American League Central, while Houston comes out of the All-Star break with a 3 1/2-game edge over the Oakland Athletics in the West.
Both the White Sox and the Astros are aiming for a strong second half to get into the playoffs and pursue a World Series run. Chicago is on the rise after losing in the wild-card round last season, and Houston is looking for its second championship since 2017.
