10 games under .500 50 games into the season
Putting things into context in terms of MLB history, especially as the Giants now stand at 7% odds to make the playoffs according to Fangraphs (and that was before the loss today...pre-season, their odds were 35.4%).
This was posted by an Orioles beat reported as they dropped to 21-29. A team with similar playoff expectations, the numbers also align with where the Giants are at right now.
634 teams in MLB history have lost 29 of their first 50 games.
Only 54 of them (8.5%) have finished above .500.
Only 13 of them (2%) have made the playoffs

The last team to go 20-30 and make the playoffs were the Rockies in 2009 (finished 92-70, so were 72-40) and the Nats were famously 19-31 but finished 93-69 to win the WS in 2019.
