Race to the Bottom: #5 1961 Phillies

The 2015 Phillies enter today with a 28-56 record, good for a 33.3% winning percentage, on pace for 54 wins. The last Phillies’ club to finish in the 50s in the W column in a non-strike shortened season were the 1972 squad who finished that campaign with 59 wins, led by 1972 Cy Young Award winner Steve Carlton who accounted for 27 wins on his own.

If the season ended today, the Phillies would finish with their 13th worst winning percentage in the history of the team, putting them in the bottom 10% of Phillies’ squads in history by using just W/L%.
