Padres Surge Into Playoff Picture | San Diego Padres News

The Padres are on fire, winning 17 of their last 22 games and skyrocketing their playoff odds from under 8% to over 57%. They’ve surged past five teams, now tied with the Phillies for wild-card spots in the NL. After a rough stretch post-All-Star break, they’ve turned it around with dominant play — but the race is tight, with Diamondbacks, Marlins, and Cardinals hot on their heels. If the Dodgers keep faltering, the Padres could even challenge for the NL West title, down to just a 7-game cushion. Up next: three crucial games against the Mets in New York, followed by home matchups against the Twins and Pirates — a pivotal stretch as they aim to lock down their postseason spot.
