The Chicago White Sox are experiencing a historic collapse, currently sitting at 33-114, which places them on track to potentially break the record for the most losses in a single Major League Baseball season. Their dismal performance has included a home record of 1-27 since July and 15 consecutive losses at home, drawing comparisons to the infamous 1962 New York Mets. Meanwhile, the Boston Red Sox faced the New York Yankees, suffering a 2-1 defeat in extra innings, which has left them trailing behind in the playoff race, now 4.5 games behind the Minnesota Twins for the final AL wild card spot. Despite recent successes, Boston's offensive struggles against left-handed pitchers have hindered their performance. The Guardians swept the White Sox in a recent series, further cementing Chicago’s struggles as they battle for a historical low in team performance. As the season progresses, both teams face significant challenges that could shape their futures, with the White Sox in dire need of a turnaround to avoid infamy.
