MLB Streak Watch
Streak Watch: Arizona Diamondbacks Have Won 5 Straight (MLB)
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 four teams are currently on streaks of at least three, so there is no shortage of momentum stories to argue about.
The win-column crowd
Arizona Diamondbacks have won five straight, the longest active run in the league. Winning streaks change how a club carries itself, every bounce feels earned, every close game feels like it belongs to them until somebody proves otherwise.
Baltimore Orioles are building a case of their own at 3 straight.
Stuck in the barrel
On the other side of the ledger, Colorado Rockies have dropped four straight. Losing streaks carry their own gravity, the pressing starts, the bounces stop cooperating, and close games keep finding the same ending.
It is not much prettier for Toronto Blue Jays, losers of 3 straight.
By the numbers
Every active streak of three or more, in one place:
| Team | Active streak |
|---|---|
| Arizona Diamondbacks | won 5 straight |
| Colorado Rockies | lost 4 straight |
| Toronto Blue Jays | lost 3 straight |
| Baltimore Orioles | won 3 straight |
The fine print
A 5-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.
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, Arizona Diamondbacks face San Diego Padres next, so this story gets its next chapter almost immediately.
