MLB Streak Watch
MLB Streak Watch, Washington Nationals's Run Hits 6
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.
Riding high
The longest active run belongs to Los Angeles Dodgers: six consecutive wins. Nobody stays hot forever, but while it lasts, every night has looked like a rerun of the same comfortable movie.
Arizona Diamondbacks are building a case of their own at 4 straight.
Add New York Mets to the list too, 3 in a row.
The skids
The skid to watch belongs to Washington Nationals, losers of six 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 Chicago Cubs, losers of 3 straight.
The board
The full board, longest runs first:
| Team | Active streak |
|---|---|
| Washington Nationals | lost 6 straight |
| Los Angeles Dodgers | won 6 straight |
| Arizona Diamondbacks | won 4 straight |
| New York Mets | won 3 straight |
| Chicago Cubs | lost 3 straight |
Worth remembering
A 6-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.
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.
