MLB Streak Watch
Streak Watch in MLB: Detroit Tigers at 6 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.
Count them up and nine teams are currently on streaks of at least three, so there is no shortage of momentum stories to argue about.
The teams stacking wins
Detroit Tigers just keep stacking, six wins in a row, the best active streak going. At some point a run stops being a coincidence and starts being a statement, and they are somewhere past that point.
Behind them, Washington Nationals have quietly won 4 in a row.
Add Tampa Bay Rays to the list too, 4 in a row.
Stuck in the barrel
The skid to watch belongs to New York Mets, losers of three in a row. Runs like this always end eventually; the only question is how much damage gets done before they do.
Kansas City Royals have dropped 3 in a row themselves.
Minnesota Twins have lost 3 straight themselves, in case anyone at the cold end needed company.
By the numbers
Every active streak of three or more, in one place:
| Team | Active streak |
|---|---|
| Detroit Tigers | won 6 straight |
| Washington Nationals | won 4 straight |
| Tampa Bay Rays | won 4 straight |
| New York Yankees | won 3 straight |
| New York Mets | lost 3 straight |
One more thing
At 6 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.
None of these runs are forever. Enjoy them as stories, count them honestly, and remember the results table starts blank again tomorrow.
One to circle: Detroit Tigers meet Chicago White Sox in their next game, and we will find out quickly whether this stretch travels.
