MLB Streak Watch
Streak Watch in MLB: Arizona Diamondbacks 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 six teams are currently on streaks of at least three, so there is no shortage of momentum stories to argue about.
The win-column crowd
The longest active run belongs to Arizona Diamondbacks: 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, Milwaukee Brewers have quietly won 3 in a row.
And Minnesota Twins make it a crowd with 3 consecutive wins.
Going the wrong way
Colorado Rockies cannot find the exit: five consecutive losses and counting. The schedule keeps coming regardless, which is either mercy or cruelty depending on the next opponent.
Philadelphia Phillies have dropped 3 in a row themselves.
San Francisco Giants have lost 3 straight themselves, in case anyone at the cold end needed company.
At a glance
Every active streak of three or more, in one place:
| Team | Active streak |
|---|---|
| Arizona Diamondbacks | won 6 straight |
| Colorado Rockies | lost 5 straight |
| Philadelphia Phillies | lost 3 straight |
| Milwaukee Brewers | won 3 straight |
| Minnesota Twins | won 3 straight |
One more thing
A 6-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.
