Some interesting win-streak tidbits (post-shootout era): Sorry in advance for the tweet storm.
Sporting KC have the longest winning streak (9) but that includes the final two games of 2011
- The seven games they won to start 2012 stands as the longest single-season win streak of the post shootout era
- The finished second overall in 2012
- The seven games they won to start 2012 stands as the longest single-season win streak of the post shootout era
- The finished second overall in 2012
There have been 11 win streaks of six games in the post shootout era
- Three of those streaks have been this year (including the Sounders active one)
- Two of them were last year (both by TFC)
- 2017 TFC was the only team to pull off that long of a win streak twice in one year

Of the 8 six-game win streaks before this year, none of those teams failed to make the playoffs
- Of the seven different teams to do it, five of them won the Supporters' Shield and one finished second
- The 2015 Revolution are the outlier, finishing 11th overall
- Two made finals

Easily the weirdest of the six-game win streaks belongs to 2018 Orlando City, who lost the two games before their streak started and the NINE games after it. They will almost certainly become the first team to post a six-game win streak and fail to qualify for playoffs.
What's also funny is Orlando is one of only 3 of the 30 teams to go on a win streak of at least give games before this year to miss the playoffs.
