The 2018 Chicago White Sox are on pace for 108 losses, which would be the most in franchise history.
But what really matters here is winning percentage, as many past seasons didn’t complete even their shorter, 154-game schedule. So the number to avoid here is 109, which correlates to the losses the team with worst winning percentage in White Sox history, 1932, would have had in a 162-game schedule.
With that out of the way, the 2018 club has fallen off of the pace for worst-ever.
By a game, yes, but fallen off the pace.
The 2018 White Sox have also fallen behind the very worst start in White Sox history, a record that for the time being belongs squarely in the hands to the 1948 team, which won just 28 of its first 90 games.
