  • The White Sox have their lowest win total (60.5) since 1990.
  • Chicago is +450 to finish with the fewest wins in MLB.

Following a few seasons of being an AL Central contender, the Chicago White Sox finished fourth in the division last year with a 61-101 record.

MLB odds expect the White Sox to continue to slide in 2024, with this yearโ€™s projection being among the worst in the majors.

White Sox Futures Odds

Win Total: 60.5
AL Central: +5000
AL Pennant: +25000
World Series: +50000

MLB betting markets donโ€™t think much of the White Sox this year. They have the same odds as the Oakland Athletics and Colorado Rockies to win the World Series and pennant.

Chicagoโ€™s win total traded above 90 in 2021 (90.5) and 2022 (92.5) before last yearโ€™s mark of 82.5. This yearโ€™s over/under of 60.5 marks the White Soxโ€™s lowest win total ever tracked by sportsoddshistory.com, dating back to 1990.

Chicago’s only win total below 70 came in 2017 when it had an over/under of 69.5 and finished with 67 victories.

White Sox Offseason Moves

White Sox General Manager Chris Getz made several moves in the offseason to overhaul the roster.

The White Sox had a busy winter, but none of the additions really improved their overall outlook. This team should still focus on a full rebuild.

Chicago began that process by trading starting pitcher Dylan Cease to the San Diego Padres. Cease becomes an immediate NL Cy Young odds contender, while the White Sox saw their win total drop from 63.5 to 60.5 after the move.

White Sox 2024 Betting Prediction

Prediction: White Sox to finish with fewest regular-season wins (+500)

This MLB betting pick moved to +450 following the Cease deal, but it’s still worth considering as the White Sox could make more trades.

The Athletics are the betting favorites (+140) to lead the league in fewest wins for the second year in a row, but the White Sox could easily contend for that title this season.

Oakland does compete in a more competitive division, but all of Chicagoโ€™s AL Central foes project to finish with 70-plus victories.

PECOTA projects the White Sox to record 65.7 wins, just three victories more than the Athletics. Meanwhile, FanGraphs has Chicago finishing with five wins (66) fewer than Oakland (71).

The White Soxโ€™s chances of being the worst team in the majors are better than these odds might indicate.
