The 2025 season

They finished 5th in the AL Central, 28 games back. They spent 7 of 186 days in first place and were as far as 31 games back on August 22. Their best month was July at 12-13, their worst March/April at 7-23. The longest runs were a 6-game winning streak from August 31 to September 5 and an 8-game losing streak from April 1 to April 10. They were 33-48 at home and 27-54 on the road, 15-36 in one-run games and 33-71 against clubs that finished .500 or better. The most lopsided win was 11-1 against the Red Sox on April 11; the heaviest defeat, 13-1 against the Tigers on June 2.

Announced gate — tickets distributed, which is the figure every reference publishes and is not the same as people through the turnstile. A game the feed reports no gate for is left out rather than counted as empty. Seasons before attendance was carried into the lake are absent from the trend rather than shown as zero.

Regulation games only, in minutes. 158 minutes this season.

Elapsed time from first pitch to final out. The feed does not itemise delays, so a rain delay is inside these numbers with no way to subtract it. Games called early are excluded — five innings in ninety-three minutes is not a short game — but they still count in attendance, because the crowd turned up.

Record versus run differential

Chicago White Sox are 60-102, a .370 win rate, while their -95 run differential implies .438. That is about 11 wins behind it, which tends to regress upward.
