The AL Central-leading Chicago White Sox won their eighth out of nine games when they beat the Detroit Tigers on Sunday 5-2.
The mood around the team is festive and confident as they head into a big series against the second-place Minnesota Twins.
The South Siders have scored 31 runs in their last four games and allowed just five.
For the season, they are leading in most American League team offensive stats, including runs scored, home runs, RBIs and batting average.
Defensively the team is third best in ERA and hits allowed.
With 14 games left in the regular season, the numbers say the Sox are headed into post-season play with a full head of steam.
