MLB Streak Watch
MLB Streak Watch, Los Angeles Dodgers's Run Hits 8
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 ten teams are currently on streaks of at least three, so there is no shortage of momentum stories to argue about.
Riding high
Los Angeles Dodgers have won eight 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.
Behind them, San Diego Padres have quietly won 5 in a row.
Milwaukee Brewers join the party at 4 straight.
The skids
Colorado Rockies cannot find the exit: six consecutive losses and counting. The schedule keeps coming regardless, which is either mercy or cruelty depending on the next opponent.
Miami Marlins have dropped 4 in a row themselves.
And Cincinnati Reds are quietly carrying a 4-game slide of their own.
The board
Every active streak of three or more, in one place:
| Team | Active streak |
|---|---|
| Los Angeles Dodgers | won 8 straight |
| Colorado Rockies | lost 6 straight |
| San Diego Padres | won 5 straight |
| Miami Marlins | lost 4 straight |
| Cincinnati Reds | lost 4 straight |
One more thing
At 8 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.
The schedule cooperates, too, Los Angeles Dodgers face Miami Marlins next, so this story gets its next chapter almost immediately.
