There are 30 teams in the Majors. Divided in thirds, you have the Top Ten, the Muddling Middle and Bottom Feeders.
The worst 10 teams in the majors:
1) Houston Astros - 31-63 - .330 winning percentage. DEAD LIST
2) Chicago Cubs - 38-57 - .404 percentage. DEAD LIST
3) Kansas City Royals - 38-56 - .404 percentage. DEAD LIST
4) Baltimore Orioles - 37-54 - .407 percentage. DEAD LIST
5) Oakland Athletics - 41-54 - .432 percentage. DEAD LIST
5) San Diego Padres - 41-54 - .432 percentage. DEAD LIST
7) Los Angeles Dodgers - 42-52 - .447 percentage. DEAD LIST
8) Seattle Mariners - 43-51 - .457 percentage. DEAD LIST
9) Minnesota Twins - 43-49 - .467 percentage.
10) Florida Marlins - 45-49 - .479 percentage. DEAD LIST
10) Colorado Rockies - 45-49 - .479 percentage. DEAD LIST
Okay... so there are 11 teams because of a tie at #10. But the only team in the bottom tier that's not on the dead list is the Twins. And they were on the list earlier this week.
So does being a Bottom Feeder translate to empty stadiums?
1) Astros - #17 in attendance
2) Cubs - #9 in attendance
3) Royals - #27 in attendance
4) Orioles - #25 in attendance
5) Athletics - #29 in attendance
5) Padres - #18 in attendance
7) Dodgers - #10 in attendance
8) Mariners - #23 in attendance
9) Twins - #4 in attendance
10) Marlins - #30 in attendance
10) Rockies - #11 in attendance
Fans in Chicago, Los Angeles, Minnesota and Colorado are supporting bad teams more than they deserve. Fans in Houston and San Diego are as well, but to a lesser extent.
