That's great that those teams had those records.
Anyways here's where the projections were for this White Sox team:
538: 70 wins
Pecota: 73 wins
Vegas: started at 68, got up to 71 wins
Fangraphs: 65 wins
They're on pace for 49 wins.
They've certainly underachieved and not a lot of people expected them to be this bad. Again, to say so is rewriting history.
