Editors note: After a busy first half of the 2016 Major League Baseball season, Joe Peta is here to take a look at both the good and bad for all 30 teams, along with projecting the second half from a betting perspective. This is the entry for the Chicago White Sox.Records reflect all games played through Sunday. All statistics are through each teams 81st game. Season-to-date pricing adds the implied win probability from the money line of each teams first 81 games and converts it to 162 games.Chicago White SoxVegas projection: 80.5 wins My projection: 78 wins Current record/pace: 45-43 (83-win pace) Season-to-date pricing: 82.7 winsWhats gone right: In jumping off to a 24-12 start, the White Sox built a five-game lead over the rest of the division and demonstrated to their fans for the first time since 2010 that the team could play .667 baseball during a stretch of games that long. Luis Gonzalez Jersey . Halladay signed a one-day contract with the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday that allowed the veteran right-hander to retire as a member of team with which he broke into the majors and spent the bulk of his distinguished 16-year career. Ketel Marte Jersey . "It doesnt get any better than that," Giambi said. "Im speechless." The Indians are roaring toward October. Giambi belted a two-run, pinch-hit homer with two outs in the ninth inning to give Cleveland a shocking 5-4 win over the Chicago White Sox on Tuesday night, keeping the Indians up with the lead pack in the AL wild-card race. http://www.cheapdiamondbacksjerseys.com/?tag=cheap-david-peralta-jersey . -- Most satisfying to Russ Smith about No. Chris Owings Jersey . LUCIE, Fla. Jake Lamb Jersey . -- Washington Redskins tight end Fred Davis was charged Thursday with driving while intoxicated, a day after he was suspended for an NFL substance-abuse policy violation. PHOENIX -- The Pac-12 season kicked off last week with No. 7 Stanfords dominating win over Southern California in a rematch of last seasons conference title game.This week, the conference season kicks into full gear, with every team but Oregon State playing another Pac-12 team.With that in mind, we thought it would be a good time to make a few predictions in the two Pac-12 divisions, based upon what the teams have done through the seasons first three weeks.Take a look:---NORTH DIVISIONFavorites: Stanford, No. 9 Washington. The seventh-ranked Cardinal (2-0, 1-0 Pac-12) have already established themselves as a team to beat by manhandling USC, a team expected to contend in the South. The Cardinal have a physical defense and one of the nations best players, Christian McCaffrey. The junior running back was the Heisman Trophy runner-up a year ago and teams are still having trouble slowing him down. The Huskies are a little less of a known quantity because of their early schedule. Washington (3-0) won its first three games by a combined score of 148-30, but the games came against less-than-upper-tier opponents Rutgers, Idaho and Portland State. The rest of the schedule will show just how good the Huskies are.Keep an eye on: Oregon, California. Its hard to fault the Ducks (2-1) for losing at back-on-the-rise Nebraska on Saturday. The problem is Oregons defense has worn down in the second half in consecutive weeks and injuries have hit key players. Receiver Devon Allen is out for the year with a torn ACL and the status of star running back Royce Freeman (leg) is unknown heading into this weekends game against Colorado. Cal, behind quarterback Davis Webb, has put up prodigious offensive numbers and it picked up a quality win by beating then-No. 11 Texas last week. The Bears have had some trouble on defense, though, particularly stopping the run.Longshots: Oregon State, Washington State. The Beavers (1-2) ended a 10-game losing streak last weekend, but that came against FCS Idaho State. They could be back on the rise, but it may not be this season. The Cougars momentum from last season appears to be halted after an opening loss to FCS Eastern Washington and another to Boise SState.dddddddddddd A blowout win over Idaho last week is a good sign, but a stretch against Oregon, Stanford and UCLA follows Washington States bye week.---SOUTH DIVISIONFavorites: No. 24 Utah, UCLA. The Utes (3-0) have been dominant on defense and are second nationally with 15 sacks after piling up 10 against San Jose State last week. Utahs offense has sputtered at times, though it seems to be improving. The Utes face a big test this week against USC, which ended their perfect season a year ago. The Bruins (2-1) opened the season with an overtime loss to Texas A&M and had to eke out a three-point victory at BYU. UCLA still has one of the nations best young quarterbacks in sophomore Josh Rosen and its defense took a big step by shutting down the Cougars last week. A true gauge of where the Bruins stand will come Saturday, when they host Stanford.Keep an eye on: Arizona State, Arizona. The Sun Devils (3-0) are one of four undefeated teams left in the Pac-12, but they have been less than dominant. Arizona State had a slow-starting win over FCS Northern Arizona, needed 68 points to outlast Texas Tech and had to get a late touchdown to beat UTSA last week. Upcoming games against Cal, USC and UCLA will tell a lot about this team. The Wildcats (2-1) are trending upward after a 47-28 victory over Hawaii last Saturday. There are still issues with the defense and the offense started slow in games against BYU and Grambling State. Up next comes a gauntlet: Washington, UCLA, Utah, USC and Stanford.Longshots: Colorado, USC. The Trojans (1-2, 0-1) were ranked No. 20 in the preseason and were expected to compete with rival UCLA for the South title. Lopsided losses to top-ranked Alabama and Stanford seem to make those expectations a bit over-reaching. The Buffaloes looked like a team to keep an eye on after blowing out Colorado State and Idaho State. Then came a 45-28 loss to No. 4 Michigan that saw quarterback Sefo Liufau go down with a right ankle injury. If Liufau is out an extended period of time, the Buffaloes could have a hard time in the Pac-12. ' ' '
