Streak Watch in MLB: Kansas City Royals at 8 and Counting

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.

There are seven clubs carrying streaks of three games or longer at the moment, which tells you something about how streaky this stretch of the calendar has been.

Riding high

The longest active run belongs to Kansas City Royals: eight consecutive wins. Nobody stays hot forever, but while it lasts, every night has looked like a rerun of the same comfortable movie.

Behind them, Los Angeles Dodgers have quietly won 6 in a row.

Add Cleveland Guardians to the list too, 5 in a row.

Stuck in the barrel

The skid to watch belongs to Colorado Rockies, losers of seven 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 Detroit Tigers, losers of 6 straight.

St. Louis Cardinals round out the skid list at 3 in a row.

At a glance

For the record, here is everything currently running at three-plus:

Worth remembering

The longest run on the board sits at 8 games, and runs that size have a way of bending a whole week's storylines around them, every broadcast, every pregame note, every nervous manager quote.

Streaks end, that is the one thing every single one of them does. They tell you where a team has been, loudly, and nothing at all about where the next game is going.

Next up on the slate: Kansas City Royals against Toronto Blue Jays. Check back after that one goes final.
