MLB Streak Watch

Streak Watch in MLB: Oakland Athletics at 9 and Counting

Published

Somebody is always rolling and somebody is always spiraling, that is what makes a league a league. Here is the current MLB streak board, longest runs first.

Count them up and nine teams are currently on streaks of at least three, so there is no shortage of momentum stories to argue about.

The teams stacking wins

Philadelphia Phillies have won three straight, the longest active run in the league. Winning streaks change how a club carries itself, every bounce feels earned, every close game feels like it belongs to them until somebody proves otherwise.

Behind them, New York Mets have quietly won 3 in a row.

Baltimore Orioles join the party at 3 straight.

Stuck in the barrel

The skid to watch belongs to Oakland Athletics, losers of nine in a row. Runs like this always end eventually; the only question is how much damage gets done before they do.

It is not much prettier for Washington Nationals, losers of 3 straight.

Minnesota Twins have lost 3 straight themselves, in case anyone at the cold end needed company.

The board

The fine print

At 9 games, the board's longest streak is officially a main character; nothing else in the league gets talked about the same way while it lives.

None of these runs are forever. Enjoy them as stories, count them honestly, and remember the results table starts blank again tomorrow.

One to circle: Athletics meet Kansas City Royals in their next game, and we will find out quickly whether this stretch travels.
