Mariners are No. 1 Losers. Again.

Except for a makeup doubleheader this afternoon between the Mets and Braves (currently tied for the second wild card spot with identical 88-72 records), the 2024 regular season is now over. Amazing things happened: things that have never happened (50-50) or rarely (Jarren Duran leading the league in doubles + triples). But one thing remained dully the same. 

This is a list of teams with the best record in the American League who fell short of the postseason:

  • 2020: Seattle Mariners
  • 2021: Toronto Blue Jays (Mariners second)
  • 2022: Baltimore Orioles (Mariners make the postseason for the first time since 2001!!!)
  • 2023: Seattle Mariners
  • 2024: Seattle Mariners

Cue Seinfeld: “Of all the losers, you came in first—of that group. You're the No. 1 ... loser.”
