Since there are 15 teams in each league, we could say that they are all over due.
The first table has the relevant data. There are 8 teams that we could say are doubly over due since their droughts are 30+ years.
The second table has some additional data. 9 of the 13 teams have gone 15+ years without an appearance in the LCS. Only two of the teams, the Angels and A's, have had a regular season winning% of .500 or higher during their drought.
The total number of years of drought for these teams collectively is 413. They have a total of 20 LCS appearances during that time, which is less than 1 every 20 years.
