McClain’s 31 W’s in 1968 will be a tough one to beat.
Yes, but I was even more impressed with Phil Niekro's 21-20 record with the '79 Atlanta Braves. Their W-L record was 66-94 (6th place, NL West). Also Rick Reuschel going 20-10 with the 81-81 '77 Cubs. It one thing to win 20 games, it is another to win 20 games with teams that are bad or mediocre.

How about Steve Carlton going 27-10 for the 1972 Phillies team that ended the year 59-97? Other pitchers not named Steve Carlton went 32-87
