- The Los Angeles Angels are the only franchise to have never had a 100-loss season.
- Three teams have lost 120 games or more.
- The 1899 Cleveland Spiders had the worst single-season record ever.
Most MLB franchises have endured at least one 100-loss season. Some fan bases have been unlucky enough to suffer through multiple seasons with triple-digit losses.
While 100-loss seasons are relatively common, with an average of more than one per season in the expansion era, BetMGM’s preseason win total baseball odds rarely project a team to win fewer than 63 games.
Who’s the Only MLB Team To Never Lose 100 Games?
The Los Angeles Angels are the only team to never lose 100 games in a season.
The Angels have lost 90 or more games on 13 occasions, however, including 99 games in 2024.
Which MLB Teams Have Had 120 Losses or More?
The 1899 Cleveland Spiders, 1962 New York Mets, and 2024 Chicago White Sox are the only teams to have lost 120 or more games in a big-league season.
Entering the 2024 season, the White Sox were massive long shots to reach the playoffs in BetMGM’s Major League Baseball odds. Their 121-loss campaign was still surprising, particularly with Garrett Crochet, Luis Robert Jr., Michael Kopech, and Erick Fedde on the roster.
Cleveland’s 20-134 record in 1899 still stands as the lowest winning percentage and highest loss total in MLB history.
