MLB Streak Watch
MLB Streak Watch, Kansas City Royals's Run Hits 9
Published
Streaks are the league's pulse. You can read the whole mood of MLB off who keeps stacking wins and who cannot find the exit, and this morning's board, counted straight from the results table, has some runs worth talking about.
Count them up and six teams are currently on streaks of at least three, so there is no shortage of momentum stories to argue about.
The teams stacking wins
Kansas City Royals have won nine 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.
Cleveland Guardians are building a case of their own at 6 straight.
And Boston Red Sox make it a crowd with 5 consecutive wins.
The skids
St. Louis Cardinals cannot find the exit: four consecutive losses and counting. The schedule keeps coming regardless, which is either mercy or cruelty depending on the next opponent.
Los Angeles Angels have dropped 3 in a row themselves.
Cincinnati Reds round out the skid list at 3 in a row.
The board
Every active streak of three or more, in one place:
| Team | Active streak |
|---|---|
| Kansas City Royals | won 9 straight |
| Cleveland Guardians | won 6 straight |
| Boston Red Sox | won 5 straight |
| St. Louis Cardinals | lost 4 straight |
| Los Angeles Angels | lost 3 straight |
The fine print
A 9-game run is long enough that it stops being a footnote and starts being the lead, expect it to come up in every broadcast until it ends.
A streak is history with good posture: impressive to look at, honest about the past, silent about tonight. Markets know this, which is why streaking teams get funny prices.
Next up on the slate: Kansas City Royals against Toronto Blue Jays. Check back after that one goes final.
