CHICAGO—Greetings from one of my favorite cities. Always a good time to come here, even if the Cell isn’t all that high on my list of favorite parks.

The Rays are gearing up for their second consecutive showdown with a first-place opponent after taking two of three from the Angels at home. The White Sox hold a half-game lead over the Twins entering play tonight, making this another potential playoff preview.

With lefty John Danks on the mound for the Sox, the Rays are going with their more right-handed lineup, including Ben Zobrist getting a start in left field.

Here’s the whole crew:

Iwamura 2B
Upton CF
Pena 1B

Aybar 3B
Zobrist LF
