Column: Padres Big Three and Hader have K stuff suited to October
The Padres are going to the playoffs. They are the second wild card team. The team has a good chance to win the whole thing. The Padres have a big payroll. Their pitchers are good. Last time the team won the West in San Diego was in the 1970s. It was a different team that won a pennant. San Diegans are optimistic. Baseball is unpredictable. Padres will be the underdog. However, they will win. If they beat the Dodgers, the Padres would advance to a full-season playoff drought. This team will play the Phillies or Brewers.
