Any chance you can give me this list but with teams that would have been in with the expanded wild card?
Forgot to mention the worst 81 game start in mlb history to make the playoffs. The 1973 Mets started 35-46 (finished 82-79) and won the pennant as well.
So what you’re saying…
Is that there’s still a chance

The crazy part about this whole list is that the 2001 A’s only lost 18 games the rest of the season.
