MLB Streak Watch
Streak Watch in MLB: Philadelphia Phillies at 5 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.
As of this morning, six different teams are riding runs of three or more in one direction or the other, a busy board by any standard.
The win-column crowd
The longest active run belongs to Philadelphia Phillies: five consecutive wins. Nobody stays hot forever, but while it lasts, every night has looked like a rerun of the same comfortable movie.
Behind them, Baltimore Orioles have quietly won 4 in a row.
Toronto Blue Jays join the party at 3 straight.
Going the wrong way
Colorado Rockies cannot find the exit: five consecutive losses and counting. The schedule keeps coming regardless, which is either mercy or cruelty depending on the next opponent.
Seattle Mariners have dropped 5 in a row themselves.
Athletics have lost 4 straight themselves, in case anyone at the cold end needed company.
The board
Every active streak of three or more, in one place:
| Team | Active streak |
|---|---|
| Philadelphia Phillies | won 5 straight |
| Colorado Rockies | lost 5 straight |
| Seattle Mariners | lost 5 straight |
| Baltimore Orioles | won 4 straight |
| Athletics | lost 4 straight |
One more thing
At 5 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.
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: Philadelphia Phillies against Arizona Diamondbacks. Check back after that one goes final.
