Didn't realize the Yankees are nearing 3 decades of consecutive winning seasons, coming off four straight losing seasons no less (1989-1992).

Also didn't realize the Los Angeles Angels have the longest streak of losing seasons in all of baseball.

Current MLB Team Streaks (Over / Under .500)

At/Over .500: Year / Team / (Previous Number of Consecutive Seasons under .500)

  • 2021: Boston (1); Houston (1); Milwaukee (1); Philadelphia (1 *); San Francisco (4); Seattle (2)
  • 2020: Chicago AL (7); Cincinnati (6); Toronto (3)
  • 2018: Atlanta (4); Oakland (3); Tampa Bay (4)
  • 2011: Los Angeles NL (1)
  • 2008: Saint Louis (1)
  • 1993: New York AL (4)

Under .500: Year / Team / (Previous Number of Consecutive Seasons .500 +)

  • 2021: Chicago NL (6); Miami (1); Minnesota (2)
  • 2020: Arizona (3); New York NL (1); Washington (8)
  • 2019: Colorado (2); Pittsburgh (1)
  • 2017: Baltimore (5); Kansas City (4); Texas (2)
  • 2016: Los Angeles AL (2)

On the Fence: Team / Current Record Current Streak through 2020

  • Cleveland (77-79 - 8 straight winning seasons)
  • Detroit (75-81 - 4 straight losing seasons)
  • San Diego (78-78 - 1 winning season streak)

Note * - Philadelphia finished exactly .500 in 2020 and 2012. The Phillies need one more win for their first actual winning season since 2011.

Minnesota defeats Detroit tonight, ensuring Detroit’s fifth consecutive losing season since going 86-75 in 2016.

Will update my OG post once San Diego (down 2-0 currently to the Dodgers in the 5th) and Cleveland (winners this evening coming to within 1 game of .500 with five to go) finalize their 2021 fate.
