Similar to the win market I generated last week. I’ve added the four teams from last season to lose 100+ games and will add by request or if I see a team trending to 100 by the All-Star Break (50-60 Ls).
Teams on this market will resolve NO early if they win their 63rd game prior to season’s end.
@TimothyJohnson5c16 Yes, that was my oversight. I have a completely separate market for the White Sox and overlooked the fact I’d resolved their spot here.
Since the Athletics have reached 63 wins, I’ve resolved them as well
Before the start of the week of August 19, 2024, here stand our towers of futility:
Chicago White Sox - 95 losses
Colorado Rockies - 79 losses
Miami Marlins - 78 losses
Los Angeles Angels, Oakland Athletics - 71 losses
I know the A’s and the Angels are on pace for only 93 losses, but it’s important to keep in mind any of these teams could suffer a White Sox level of catastrophe this end of the summer.
Since I have a day’s cushion before the second “half” starts (64-67 games remaining), I’ve calculated the win percentage needed for each team on the board to reach 100 losses. As you can see, a couple of teams would have to have historic implosions to reach the mark. It’s close to 0, but we all know it isn’t 0. Lol
Chicago White Sox, 64 games remaining: win 35 games or fewer to reach 100 losses
Miami Marlins, 66 games remaining: win 29 games or fewer to reach 100 losses
Colorado Rockies, 65 games remaining: win 28 games or fewer to reach 100 losses
Oakland Athletics, 64 games remaining: win 25 games or fewer to reach 100 losses
Houston Astros, 66 games remaining: win 12 games or fewer to reach 100 losses
Kansas City Royals, 65 games remaining: win 10 games or fewer to reach 100 losses
No offense to the 3 or so Royals fans out there, but if any team can do it, it’s them.
