The 97-Win Threshold is not as Easy as it Appears

October 02, 2025

Winning 97 games in an MLB season “only” requires any team to win three of every five games. This podcast, influenced by a similar observation that I saw online, asked the question “is it really that easy?” The answer: No. It’s actually rather difficult, as it should be at the MLB level. In fact, the fewer teams that win 90-plus games in a given season indicates a more competitively balanced league.
