Episode 110 is now available for your listening pleasure with a couple friends of the podcast.

The rundown:

Jim recaps the Kansas City Royals series and shares what his key takeaways were. With the White Sox struggling against both the Detroit Tigers and Kansas City Royals, which team should the White Sox build a roster to beat if only given the choice of one (Tigers or Royals).
We preview the Cleveland Indians series which is a big series for the AL Central leaders. Cleveland currently is just percentage points behind the Texas Rangers for the best record in the American League. Would help increase their odds of earning home field advantage if the Indians can win the four-game series this week.
Our first friend of the podcast is Jim Callis from MLBpipeline.com, who questions the White Sox handling of Carson Fulmer, the fast track that 2016 first round pick Zack Collins is on, and what to make of the New York Mets signing Tim Tebow.
Our second friend of the podcast is Dan Szymborski from ESPN.com, who shares what ZiPS is projecting to the major league baseball postseason field. Why the Astros have a better shot of winning a wild card than the Detroit Tigers, and which of the four teams in the AL East will make the playoffs.
Finally, your questions in P.O. Sox that included this gem:

@SouthSideSox wouldn't you want RV to use Coats/Smith more, or see if Ynoa/Smith/minaya cld handle high leverage? Why manage Sept like May?
