Stick a fork in the Tigers. They are done, at least from a historic perspective. No team that started the season with seven straight losses has ever qualified for the postseason.
None actually had a winning percentage better than .525. Just two had a winning record. The average record for 0-7 starters is 53-109. Oopha! Here the ten with the best overall records:
Team | Yr | W | L | PCT | POS |
Houston Astros | 1983 | 85 | 77 | .525 | 3 |
Atlanta Braves | 1980 | 81 | 80 | .503 | 4 |
