Since the Diamondbacks came into the league in 1998, there have been 243 teams with a W% equal to or less than .438 through their first 32 games. All data and percentages that follow are courtesy of18 of those 243 teams made the Postseason, or 7.4%. That included seven wild card teams, eight division winners, two Pennant winners, and one World Series champion, the 2019 Washington Nationals. Just three teams made it to the World Series, or 1.
That shortened list includes three wild card teams, four division champions, and one Pennant winner. The Houston Astros started the 2005 season 12-20, .375 W%, and made it to the World Series before being swept by the Chicago White Sox. . Currently there are six seasons that began worse through 30 games. Arizona did not make the playoffs in any of those seasons however.
