45-108, 65.5 games behind Pittsburgh.

This year's Orioles have a shot.

The modern record, at least. As with virtually every other negative record in MLB history, the overall one is owned by the 1899 Cleveland Spiders, who finished 84 games back of Brooklyn.

Two other fun facts about that team: Their 101 road losses is a literally unbreakable record, and their average attendance was 145. Which is why they were able to lose that many road games - other teams refused to travel to Cleveland.
