MLB Streak Watch
MLB Streak Watch, Tampa Bay Rays's Run Hits 6
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.
As of this morning, four different teams are riding runs of three or more in one direction or the other, a busy board by any standard.
The teams stacking wins
The longest active run belongs to Tampa Bay Rays: six consecutive wins. Nobody stays hot forever, but while it lasts, every night has looked like a rerun of the same comfortable movie.
Baltimore Orioles carry a 3-game winning run of their own.
Going the wrong way
The skid to watch belongs to New York Mets, losers of five in a row. Runs like this always end eventually; the only question is how much damage gets done before they do.
Athletics have dropped 3 in a row themselves.
The board
Every active streak of three or more, in one place:
| Team | Active streak |
|---|---|
| Tampa Bay Rays | won 6 straight |
| New York Mets | lost 5 straight |
| Baltimore Orioles | won 3 straight |
| Athletics | lost 3 straight |
The fine print
The longest run on the board sits at 6 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.
None of these runs are forever. Enjoy them as stories, count them honestly, and remember the results table starts blank again tomorrow.
Next up on the slate: Tampa Bay Rays against Boston Red Sox. Check back after that one goes final.
