How low can the Chicago White Sox go? So far they’re in some pretty infamous company. Chicago’s 6-3 loss to Seattle on Sunday was the team’s 14th in a row. And it dropped the White Sox to 27-81 on the season. That winning percentage of .250 is exactly what the 1962 New York Mets had when they set the modern record for losses by going 40-120.

Chicago’s run differential isn’t quite as bad as its record. The White Sox have been outscored by 218 runs so far, easily the worst mark in baseball. But that’s not as bad as last year’s Oakland A’s, who were at minus-259 after 108 games with a record of 30-78. Oakland ultimately avoided threatening the 1962 Mets, finishing 50-112.
To lose this many games takes some bad luck in addition to poor play. The 1962 Mets played more one-run games than any team in the National League, and they went 19-39 in those. The White Sox are 8-22 in one-run games this year.
