White Sox Run Differential Flips from -260 to +47 in Two Years
After 126 games in 2026, Chicago's run differential stands at +47 — a 307-run swing from the same point in their historically bad 2024 season.
Beat reporter Scott Merkin highlighted a stark year-over-year improvement in the White Sox run differential at the 126-game mark. The team sits at +47 in 2026 compared to -81 at the same point in 2025 and -260 in 2024. The 2024 figure coincided with one of the worst seasons in MLB history. The 2026 number suggests the White Sox have become a legitimately competitive team by run-scoring and run-prevention metrics.
