The rarity of a substantial streak is what makes one so special.

It's impossible to predict how long any streak will continue. Many baseball players depend on superstition to keep hitting streaks going — the "lucky socks" theory. Scientists, specifically statisticians, rely on hard numbers to predict the future.

Neither group has developed a reliable forecasting method because superstition can't be quantified and, as it turns out, there is an as-yet unexplained factor in hitting streaks that defies the best statistical models. Like these statistic busting streaks:


Most consecutive seasons with 20 or more pitching wins (sum)
Most consecutive no-hitters (+2)
Most consecutive seasons with 40 or more home runs
Most consecutive Strikouts in one game
Longest win streak by a team without ties (sum)
Most consecutive games played (remove 1st digit)
