Baseball teams don’t get much worse than the one in South Side Chicago. 

The White Sox lost for the 13th straight time Wednesday night after blowing a four-run lead lead to the Cubs, dropping their record to an MLB-worst 15-47.

The losing streak ties a franchise record, which was matched in August 1924 – nearly 100 years ago – and is the longest of any team this season. 

The White Sox are truly on one of the worst runs to start a season in MLB history. 

Their 47 losses in their first 62 games are tied for the fifth-most to open a season since 1901. 

Oddsmakers unsurprisingly have them in their own category of putrid.

Barely two months into the season, the White Sox are already -290 to finish with the worst record in the majors at FanDuel Sportsbook.

No other team has odds better than +310. 

Chicago’s win total over/under is sitting at just 51.5 – a slight over of 52 wins would give them 110 losses, a mark only hit by 25 teams in baseball history.

They are currently on pace to win just 39 games, which would be the fewest 162-game win total ever. 

Coming the season, the outlook for the White Sox wasn’t great but not this bad.

After losing 101 games last season, the White Sox did little to improve their prospects for 2024. 

Just before the season, they traded ace Dylan Cease to the Padres, thinning an already weak pitching staff.

Injuries have ravaged their roster as well. 

Luis Robert, Yoan Moncada, Eloy Jimenez, Andrew Benintendi, Mike Clevinger and others have all spent time on the injured list. 

It appears their manager may soon be a casualty of their incompetence, with The Athletic reporting it’s a matter of “when” Pedro Grifol is relieved of his duties
