MLB Streak Watch
Streak Watch: Arizona Diamondbacks Have Won 4 Straight (MLB)
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.
As of this morning, six different teams are riding runs of three or more in one direction or the other, a busy board by any standard.
The win-column crowd
The longest active run belongs to Arizona Diamondbacks: four consecutive wins. Nobody stays hot forever, but while it lasts, every night has looked like a rerun of the same comfortable movie.
Baltimore Orioles are building a case of their own at 3 straight.
Going the wrong way
Los Angeles Angels cannot find the exit: three consecutive losses and counting. The schedule keeps coming regardless, which is either mercy or cruelty depending on the next opponent.
It is not much prettier for Toronto Blue Jays, losers of 3 straight.
Texas Rangers 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 |
|---|---|
| Arizona Diamondbacks | won 4 straight |
| Los Angeles Angels | lost 3 straight |
| Toronto Blue Jays | lost 3 straight |
| Texas Rangers | lost 3 straight |
| Baltimore Orioles | won 3 straight |
One more thing
A 4-game run is long enough that it stops being a footnote and starts being the lead, expect it to come up in every broadcast until it ends.
Streaks end, that is the one thing every single one of them does. They tell you where a team has been, loudly, and nothing at all about where the next game is going.
The schedule cooperates, too, Arizona Diamondbacks face San Diego Padres next, so this story gets its next chapter almost immediately.
