'More than 6 wins in the remaining 9 games' Is this possible for CHW? The New York M 120 defeat in 1962 was virtually broken

The White Sox kneeled 3-4 after a close game in the 13th inning of overtime in an away game against the Los Angeles Angels on the 19th (Korea time).
The White Sox won three consecutive games from the 15th to the 17th. It is the first time in about three months that he has won three consecutive games since June 28-30. But the joy is also brief. The White Sox, who lost the last two games of this three away games against the Angels, marked 36 wins and 117 losses (0.235).
The White Sox led a point in the top of the 10th inning with Miguel Vargas' sacrifice fly with one out and a runner on third base. However, in the bottom of the 10th inning, the Angels tied it with Gustavo Campero's left-handed hit with one out and third base.
As the White Sox led another point with Andrew Benintendi's timely hit in the top of the 11th inning, the Angels re-balanced 3-3 with Eric Wagaman's timely hit in the bottom of the 11th inning. The White Sox were attacked in the top of the 12th inning, overcoming the continued crisis with one out and runners on first and second bases.
However, with one out and third base, Corey struck out swinging, and after Dominic Fletcher's intentional four pitches, Vargas grounded out to shortstop and failed to score a point. The White Sox, who gave up no runs in the bottom of the 12th inning, failed to take advantage of the full base chance with two outs in the top of the 13th inning, and in the bottom of the 13th inning, Hiro Iriarte got a finishing infield hit by Jordyn Adams with one out and third base and lost 3-4.
With the loss, the White Sox tied the record of 117 losses recorded by the Philadelphia Athletics in 1916. He is tied for third with the most losses in a season since 1900. The most in this category was 120 losses by then-new team New York Mets in 1962. The record for the most losses in the American League was 119 losses suffered by the Detroit Tigers in 2003.
The White Sox need to win seven games in the remaining nine games to avoid falling to 120. If he wins six games, he will tie the record for the most losses ever with the Mets, and if he stays below five wins, he will become the new owner of the most losses in a season since 1900. However, the opponent's strength for the rest of the season is not easy. From the 21st, there are three consecutive away games against the San Diego Padres, three consecutive home games against the Angels and three away games against the Detroit Tigers. San Diego and Detroit are teams that are struggling to advance to the postseason.
