Six games doesn't sound like a lot, but the Sox have 20 games left and the Tribe has 18. That's going to be tough to overcome. Just to give you an idea, if the Sox finish off the year at .500 -- just 10-10, Cleveland needs to finish off their last 18 games at 15-3 just to tie and force a 1-game playoff. Every game the White Sox have remaining is against the AL Central, against which they're 40-14. Therefore the chances they'll finish at or below .500 in thier last 20 is very unlikely.

It all depends on how they play the Sox. If they can get the better of them they have a chance. If not, I don't like their chances in the Wild Card.
They are as hot as can be right now and the White Sox are slumping. The White Sox have games against Det and KC so they should win some there. They also have two series against Minn. Minn. is a funny team and can sweep or be swept. The way they are playing, more likely they will be swept. The only other series are two against the Indians. Thus, if they can beat the sox in those 6 games, they have a good chance at winning the division. If not, I don't think the wild card chance is very good, but still possible because the other teams are not entirely strong and have to play two more games than the Indians which is a chance for two more losses.
