The Worst Record In Baseball
As the MLB season comes to a close, we take a look at the teams with the worst records in baseball. These are the teams that had the misfortune of being bad enough to not make the playoffs, but not bad enough to get a shot at one of the top prospects in the upcoming draft. These are the teams that will be spending their winters watching other teams compete for a World Series title.
The Detroit Tigers currently have the worst record in baseball. They are followed closely by the Baltimore Orioles, Kansas City Royals, and Miami Marlins. The Tigers have been particularly dreadful, winning just 31 of their first 81 games. That gives them a winning percentage of just .383, which is on pace to be one of the worst records in MLB history.
The Tigers are not alone in their struggles. The Orioles have also been terrible, winning just 32 of their first 80 games. Their winning percentage of .400 is only slightly better than Detroit’s. The Royals and Marlins are both under .500 as well, with records of 37-48 and 39-47 respectively.
These four teams have been so bad that they have put themselves in danger of having one of the worst seasons in MLB history. The Tigers are on pace to lose 111 games, which would tie them for the sixth-most losses ever. The Orioles are on pace to lose 108 games, which would tie them for 10th-most losses ever. And the Royals and Marlins are both on pace to lose over 100 games.
It has been a long season for these four teams, and it is only going to get longer as they watch other teams compete for a World Series title.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the best record in baseball is the one held by the New York Yankees. They have the most championships and the most wins. They are also the most dominant team in baseball history.
