    The 1987 Twins only won 85 games, but they won 100+ games twice (1965 and 2019). The team we're looking for is in the low 90s.

    I misread my notes and there are actually two teams tied at 92 wins apiece. The Rockies hit that mark in 2009, and are one of them.

    The other is the Marlins, who topped out at 92 wins when they won the World Series in 1997 (the "notable team" I mentioned in the question).
    That is one of two times the Marlins have won even 90 games. Strangely, the other was in 2003, when they also won the World Series after winning 91 games.

    The Rockies and Marlins are two of the seven teams that have never won 100 games. The Angels are the only team that has never lost 100.
