There’s no worse team than the Chicago South baseball team.
The White Sox lost a four-run lead to the Cubs on Wednesday night, losing their 13th straight game and falling to an MLB-worst 15-47 record.
The losing streak is the longest by any team this season, tying the franchise record set nearly 100 years ago in August 1924.
The White Sox are coming off one of the worst season starts in MLB history.
The 47 losses in their first 62 games are tied for the fifth-most losses to open a season since 1901.
As expected, oddsmakers have them in the “terrible” category.
Just two months into the season, the White Sox are already tipped at -290 odds to finish the season with the worst record in the major leagues at FanDuel Sportsbook.
No other team has better odds than +310.
The over/under for Chicago wins is just 51.5. Just over 52 wins would give them 110 losses, a feat only 25 teams in baseball history have managed.
The team is currently on pace for just 39 wins, which would be their fewest wins in 162 games ever.
The White Sox outlook hasn’t been great this season, but it hasn’t been this bad.
Caesars Sportsbook projected the team to win 63.5 games in January, the third-lowest in baseball.
The White Sox lost 101 games last season and did little to improve their outlook heading into 2024.
Just before the season, they traded ace Dylan Cease to the Padres, further weakening an already weak pitching staff.
