Fantastic finish by the White Sox.
On September 3rd, they were on a 12 game losing streak, sitting at 31-109. From this point forward they finished 10-12, including winning 5 of their last 6 to finish 41-121. They tied the Mets with 120 losses after 156 games, and broke the record in game 160. Good that the record was broken in the same number of games as the 62 Mets, removing all doubt as to who the loss leader is.
This gives them a higher win percentage (.253 vs .250) than the 62 Mets, and more wins (41 vs 40). Both of these were in doubt even a week ago. Winning the last two games, the two extra games over the 62 Mets season, pushed them above 40 wins to avoid falling short of that mark as well.
Over the season, they won 8 series, and split 1 4-game set, this includes losing every single series for the months of July and August. Two of these series wins were the last two series of the season.
The downfall was swift, they won their division in 2021 with a record of 93-69, broke 100 losses in 2023, and set records in 2024. The Tigers lost 119 games in 2003, and made the playoffs 3 years later. Will the White Sox have a similar turn around?
