With 3 more sweeps yesterday (Dodgers, Phillies and Padres), the season total is now 55.
Only the Angels & Giants have not completed any sweeps.
The Rays have the most sweeps with 5. The Braves may only have 2 sweeps, but they have amazingly won 13 of their first 15 series.
@mustardhamm Full data through May 17th is posted and it definitely seems like sweeps are happening at a higher clip this season, but it is actually pretty close to last season. We have 55 sweeps this season and at this point last season there were 52.
Tonight the #Yankees aim for the sweep of the #Giants. The first potential sweep of 2026. The Yankees last swept the Giants in San Francisco in June 2024.
The #Yankees claim the first win of the 2026 MLB season, will they complete the first sweep? Road teams that win the 1st game of a 3-game series, complete the sweep 22.81% of the time.
The WBC is over and 1 week from today the MLB is back! The season kicks off with the Yankees heading to San Francisco for a 3-game series against the Giants.
Fun fact: In the expansion era (since 1961), the Giants have never swept the Yankees.
MLB Opening Day is 2 weeks from today! We will be back posting updates on X this season!
There were 211 series sweeps last season which was the most since 2021. The Rockies were swept an amazing 21 times last year, 7 more than the next worse (White Sox).
Tonight, the #Dodgers aim for the #WorldSeries sweep of the #Yankees and history is on their side. In the expansion era (since 1961), there have been 12 potential World Series sweeps - 11 times the sweep was completed.
@Homerpicks Since 1961 (excluding 2020), the average is 192 sweeps per season. But for the last 30 years (since 1994), the average has been 207 sweeps per season.
The #ALDS and #NLDS begin tomorrow! That makes today a perfect day to reflect on the 2024 #MLB Season. There were 180 total sweeps this season, which is the lowest total since the 1995 season (excluding 2020 season).
The #Dodgers and #Padres won the most series in the MLB, winning 31 series each with the #Yankees and #Brewers behind them at 30 series wins. It's no suprise the Dodgers and Yankees are the current #WorldSeries favorites.
#Mets sweep โ
#Padres sweep โ
Making it 10 of 12 Wild Card series ending in a sweep and the #Mets taking part in both series that were not sweeps. #MLBPostseason
Fan of the #Tigers, #Royals, #Mets or #Padres? Good news, since the Wild Card round in its current format was added to the #MLBPlayoffs (2022), 7 of the 8 Wild Card series have ended in a sweep. https://t.co/lz9v7CllfP

The #MLB#AllStarGame is tonight. At the break, there have been 107 series sweeps (there were 108 at last year's break). Every team has completed at least 1 sweep and only the #Guardians, #Phillies and #Mariners haven't been swept at all.
The #Celtics are up 3-0 and the #Mavs are up 3-0. We have never had both Conference Finals end in a sweep in the same season. Back in 1957, when it was the Division Finals, was the only time both teams in the #NBAFinals swept the previous round. #NBAPlayoffs
