2024 MLB Season Charts (All Star Break)
Ever want a nice visualization of every team's current position in the standings? Ever wonder about how many notable streaks every team has so far this season? Ever think to yourself, "just how bad could the 2024 White Sox really be?"
Then these charts are for you!
In my spare time (man have I had so much spare time), I've been working on compiling every MLB team's wins and losses into individual charts, because sometimes just numbers isn't enough to really grasp how a season is going. And, as special treat inspired by the Twins' 12 game winning streak, I also highlighted every notable streak. A notable streak here is defined as a streak of 4 or more games, winning or losing. Streaks of 3 games or less will not be highlighted. Each team's longest streak will also be noted.
(Note that I'm only one guy, so there may be some mistakes. If the mistakes are large enough, I'll try to fix them.)
These charts will only be including the start of the regular season up to the All Star Break. I hope to keep them all updated as the season goes on and chart the entire season for every team, but we'll see how life goes.
For now, here are the current charts. Since there are 30 MLB teams, I've split the charts into several posts based on each division and went into detail about some trends I noticed with each team season so far.
AL Central
AL East
AL West
NL East
NL Central
NL West
And for those who want an MLB-wide summary, look no further than below the cut!
First, current best and worst teams:
This probably doesn't come as much of a surprise. The Phillies currently have the best record, being 28 games above .500. Meanwhile, the White Sox have the worst record and are 44 games below .500. Ouch.
Team with the most notable streaks:
The White Sox win this category with a whole 11 notable streaks, including the one they're on now. However, with only one of those a winning streak, they prove that the title of most streaks doesn't necessarily mean best record.
Runner-ups include the Yankees (9), Marlins (8), and the Rockies (8).
Team with the least notable streaks:
The Reds only have 3 notable streaks with just one being a losing streak. Though with that streak being an 8 game losing streak, it certainly can't be ignored.
Runner-ups: Guardians (4), Rays (4), Blue Jays (4), Cardinals (4), and Pirates (4).
Team with the most notable winning streaks:
The Yankees get this title, as 7 of their 9 notable streaks are winning ones. In fact, before the end of June, all they had were notable winning streaks. It's only in the past few weeks that they got their first notable losing streaks.
Runner-ups: Royals (5), Orioles (5), Red Sox (5), Mariners (5), Phillies (5), Braves (5), Brewers (5), Dodgers (5).
Team with most notable losing streaks:
The White Sox have a whopping 10 notable losing streaks. Of course, you've seen this chart already, so not much else to add here.
Runner-ups: Marlins (7) and Rockies (7).
Team with longest winning streak:
Now for the streak that helped inspire this whole thing. The Twins of course have the longest winning streak so far this season with 12 straight wins. Good times, good times.
Runner-ups: Guardians (9), Royals (8), and Yankees (8).
Team with longest losing streak:
Yup, you knew it, so here we are again. The White Sox had a whole 14 game losing streak this season, and it sticks out like a giant red sore thumb on their chart.
Runner-ups: Athletics (9), Marlins (9), and Reds (8).
Teams with no notable losing streaks:
We actually have three teams who currently do not have a notable losing streak. Extra points go to the Phillies and Brewers who have five notable winning streaks to the Guardians' four.
A team's chart I just had to point out:
The Mariners get an extra special shout out for having 7 notable streaks and all of them being just four games long, the minimum to be counted as a notable streak. Funny stuff.
And some last stats:
Every team has at least one notable winning streak, even the White Sox! Yay for all of us!
The average amount of notable streaks per team is 6.13 streaks.
The average amount of notable winning streaks per team is 3.2 streaks.
The average length of the longest streak per team is 6.9 games.
Join me at the end of the season when I (maybe) do the full 2024 season!

Okay a more serious post, my blog’s visibility issues have been fixed, and so now we can run the final Jack Off prelims! Thanks so much to everyone for your patience.
To make sure everyone is aware, the prelim match-ups will be listed below the cut, and their fandoms tagged. I plan to run ~half the prelims on Wednesday, May 10 and the other half on Friday, May 12.
So instead of combining these Jacks like I did with the Johns, I thought it would be more fun to have some similar Jacks and the multiple Jacks from the same media fight to see who will be the representing champion!
Bout A: Jack Harkness (Doctor Who/Torchwood) vs Original Jack Harkness (Torchwood)
Bout B: Jack Sparrow (Pirates of the Caribbean) vs Jack the Monkey (Pirates of the Caribbean)
Bout C: Our Boy Jack/Mad Jack Spratt (The Mechanisms) vs One-Eyed Jack (The Mechanisms)
Bout D: Jack Rackham (Black Sails) vs Calico Jack (Our Flag Means Death)
Bout E: Jack Skellington (The Nightmare Before Christmas) vs Jack Pumpkinhead (Return to Oz)
Bout F: Jack Frost (Rise of the Guardians) vs Jack Frost (Jack Frost 1998)
“But op, how will you fill the remaining slots?” Well, patient name enjoyers, I’ve selected ten Jacks who had good but not good enough votes in their prelims to come and fight one on one for the remaining slots (There are only five slots here because the 1998 Jack Frost didn’t win his prelim but I really wanna see them duke it out, it’s gonna be so funny.)
The ten lucky contenders are as follows:
Bout G: Jack Starbright (Alex Rider) vs Lavender Jack (Lavender Jack)
Bout H: Spring-Heeled Jack (Folklore) vs Jack Howl (Twisted Wonderland)
Bout I: Jack Larson (Malevolent) vs Jack Bauer (It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia)
Bout J: Jack/Narrator (Fight Club) vs Jack (Mass Effect)
Bout K: Jack Hodgins (Bones) vs Jack Carter (Eureka)
