MLB Streak Watch
Streak Watch in MLB: Cleveland Guardians at 6 and Counting
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 seven teams are currently on streaks of at least three, so there is no shortage of momentum stories to argue about.
Riding high
The longest active run belongs to Cleveland Guardians: six consecutive wins. Nobody stays hot forever, but while it lasts, every night has looked like a rerun of the same comfortable movie.
Behind them, Pittsburgh Pirates have quietly won 5 in a row.
And Los Angeles Dodgers make it a crowd with 5 consecutive wins.
Stuck in the barrel
The skid to watch belongs to Kansas City Royals, losers of five 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 Boston Red Sox, losers of 3 straight.
The board
The full board, longest runs first:
| Team | Active streak |
|---|---|
| Cleveland Guardians | won 6 straight |
| Pittsburgh Pirates | won 5 straight |
| Kansas City Royals | lost 5 straight |
| Los Angeles Dodgers | won 5 straight |
| Boston Red Sox | lost 3 straight |
The fine print
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.
The schedule cooperates, too, Cleveland Guardians face Boston Red Sox next, so this story gets its next chapter almost immediately.
