MLB May Surprises & June Predictions

Chicago White Sox and San Diego Padres emerge as biggest May surprises as MLB season approaches halfway point.

The Chicago White Sox have been the biggest surprise in May, sitting just one game behind Cleveland Guardians in AL Central with a 32-27 record after going 18-10 in May. Young players like Chase Meidroth, Colson Montgomery, and Japanese sensation Munetaka Murakami (.240, 20 HRs) have powered their turnaround.

San Diego Padres also surprised with a 32-26 record despite underwhelming offensive numbers, holding the top Wild Card spot. FOX analysts Karros and Willis made bold predictions for June as contenders begin to separate from pretenders. esporist.com
