MLB Streak Watch
MLB Streak Watch, Atlanta Braves's Run Hits 5
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.
As of this morning, eight different teams are riding runs of three or more in one direction or the other, a busy board by any standard.
The teams stacking wins
Atlanta Braves have won five 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.
Milwaukee Brewers are building a case of their own at 3 straight.
And Chicago White Sox make it a crowd with 3 consecutive wins.
Stuck in the barrel
The skid to watch belongs to Los Angeles Angels, losers of five in a row. Runs like this always end eventually; the only question is how much damage gets done before they do.
New York Mets have dropped 3 in a row themselves.
Chicago Cubs round out the skid list at 3 in a row.
By the numbers
Every active streak of three or more, in one place:
| Team | Active streak |
|---|---|
| Atlanta Braves | won 5 straight |
| Los Angeles Angels | lost 5 straight |
| New York Mets | lost 3 straight |
| Chicago Cubs | lost 3 straight |
| Milwaukee Brewers | won 3 straight |
One more thing
The longest run on the board sits at 5 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.
One to circle: Atlanta Braves meet Colorado Rockies in their next game, and we will find out quickly whether this stretch travels.
