It’s difficult to win seven games in a row for a big league team. That is true whether you’re talking about the first seven, the last seven or any seven in the middle. That doesn’t mean that a team has to be good to win seven in a row, but it definitely doesn’t hurt.
As you may know, the Kansas City Royals have started their season by winning seven games in a row. It’s the second best start in franchise history. You remember the best start, but we won’t talk about that just yet. The Royals are the only team to win their first seven games this year.
