After a historically bad 2024 season, the Chicago White Sox's over/under for wins in 2025 is embarrassingly low.

Chicago's win total is set at just 49.5 wins next season, via DraftKings Sportsbook, just 8.5 more wins than the White Sox recorded in 2024.

Chicago has +3000 odds to make the playoffs, +25000 odds to win the division and +40000 odds to win the World Series.

In 2024, the White Sox set the modern record for the most losses in an MLB season, surpassing the 1962 New York Mets, who went 40-120-1. The Mets were in their first year as a franchise when they set the record for the most losses, which is understandable. Chicago, however, didn't have the same excuse.

The White Sox also had the fifth-worst winning percentage since 1900 at .253.

Unsurprisingly, the awful year for Chicago led to the team firing manager Pedro Grifol in August after just two seasons at the helm. Along with Grifol, the White Sox parted ways with bench coach Charlie Montoyo, third-base coach Eddie Rodriguez and assistant hitting coach Mike Tosar.

Shortly after the conclusion of the regular season, Chicago hired Will Venable to be its next manager. Venable will have the tall task of changing the course of the White Sox franchise as he tries to avoid breaking the team's record for the most losses.

Venable brings 18 seasons of experience with him as a player, executive and coach. The former outfielder has been a coach for the Chicago Cubs, Boston Red Sox and, most recently, the Texas Rangers. He helped lead Texas to a World Series victory in 2023.

The bar is low for Venable after Chicago's forgetful season, but he'll still try to have a productive year in 2025 and make bettors regret taking the under on the White Sox's win total.
