MLB Streak Watch
MLB Streak Watch, Colorado Rockies's Run Hits 8
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.
There are seven clubs carrying streaks of three games or longer at the moment, which tells you something about how streaky this stretch of the calendar has been.
The teams stacking wins
The longest active run belongs to San Diego Padres: eight consecutive wins. Nobody stays hot forever, but while it lasts, every night has looked like a rerun of the same comfortable movie.
Detroit Tigers are building a case of their own at 5 straight.
And Washington Nationals make it a crowd with 3 consecutive wins.
Going the wrong way
The skid to watch belongs to Colorado Rockies, losers of eight 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 San Francisco Giants, losers of 4 straight.
Houston Astros round out the skid list at 3 in a row.
The board
For the record, here is everything currently running at three-plus:
| Team | Active streak |
|---|---|
| Colorado Rockies | lost 8 straight |
| San Diego Padres | won 8 straight |
| Detroit Tigers | won 5 straight |
| San Francisco Giants | lost 4 straight |
| Washington Nationals | won 3 straight |
The fine print
The longest run on the board sits at 8 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.
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.
One to circle: Colorado Rockies meet San Diego Padres in their next game, and we will find out quickly whether this stretch travels.
