Hot and Cold

I haven't done a detailed analysis of this trend, but it seems to me that teams this year have been very streaky. Either they're very hot or very cold. Take for example the current set of winning and losing streaks throughout Major League Baseball... First the winners... Cleveland Indians - Won 6 in a row Texas Rangers - Won 5 in a row Philadelphia Phillies - Won 5 in a row Los Angeles Angels - Won 4 in a row Los Angeles Dodgers - Won 4 in a row New York Yankees - Won 3 in a row Tampa Bay Devil Rays - Won 3 in a row And now the losers... Boston Red Sox - Lost 3 in a row Minnesota Twins - Lost 3 in a row Chicago White Sox - Lost 3 in a row New York Mets - Lost 5 in a row Washington Nationals - Lost 6 in a row Seattle Mariners - Lost 6 in a row Baltimore Orioles - Lost 9 in a row What's interesting is that many of these teams are in the thick of the pennant race. Tomorrow is September 1st. It will be interesting to see who separates themself from the pack.
