MLB Streak Watch
Streak Watch: Cleveland Guardians Have Won 7 Straight (MLB)
Published
Every result in MLB feeds a streak somewhere, and a few of them have now grown big enough to deserve names. Everything below comes straight off the results; nothing fancier than counting.
Count them up and four teams are currently on streaks of at least three, so there is no shortage of momentum stories to argue about.
The teams stacking wins
Cleveland Guardians just keep stacking, seven wins in a row, the best active streak going. At some point a run stops being a coincidence and starts being a statement, and they are somewhere past that point.
Atlanta Braves carry a 3-game winning run of their own.
Stuck in the barrel
On the other side of the ledger, St. Louis Cardinals have dropped five straight. Losing streaks carry their own gravity, the pressing starts, the bounces stop cooperating, and close games keep finding the same ending.
It is not much prettier for Los Angeles Angels, losers of 4 straight.
By the numbers
For the record, here is everything currently running at three-plus:
| Team | Active streak |
|---|---|
| Cleveland Guardians | won 7 straight |
| St. Louis Cardinals | lost 5 straight |
| Los Angeles Angels | lost 4 straight |
| Atlanta Braves | won 3 straight |
The fine print
A 7-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.
The schedule cooperates, too, Cleveland Guardians face Kansas City Royals next, so this story gets its next chapter almost immediately.
