Padres' postseason odds down to under 12 percent after losing three of four to Diamondbacks; Marlins in town to finish 10-game homestand
was all around Xander Bogaerts as he spoke late Saturday night in a quiet home clubhouse at Petco Park. Fernando Tatis Jr. laid on his back in front of his locker with his feet propped on the chair rolled out in front, his gaze fixed on his phone as he scrolled endlessly. Juan Soto did the same, but slouched in his chair instead of sprawled out on the carpet. Players walked to and from the training room. They dressed.
But losing two games to the wild-card hopeful Diamondbacks cut those chances to just under 12 percent, according to ESPN, despite the forces that be seemingly simultaneously smiling upon and laughing at the Padres.The Padres continue to shake their head at the misfortune materializing in their hard-hit luck.
“They outplayed us,” Padres manager Bob Melvin said. “Even the game we won, we had to come back late and score some runs. So they completely outplayed us, and going into the series at their place they weren’t playing great.”That’s the definition of a team that has not won more than three games all year, that is seven games under .500, six games out of a wild-card spot and staring up at long, long odds to make a postseason run.
The Padres, to a man, would say they have stars to rival and/or trump those rosters, but they haven’t been a winning team since May 10 and they’ve been saying the same things all along.
