And that isn’t out of the question. There are many games yet to play, but they are looking good.
They would become the first pennant winner and first “World Champion” with a losing record. I like some of the changes in baseball, but I don’t like that. It was embarrassing enough when the Cardinals won the World Series with a 83-78 record in 2006. That’s the current record for the worst World Series winner, but not for the worst pennant winner. That record is held by the 1973 Mets, who were just a hair worse at 82-79. Those Mets came close to a World Series win of their own. They had the As down 3-2 before their bats went stone cold in the last two games.
