San Diego (87-72) has clinched the wildcard spot and is second in the NL West, behind the Los Angeles Dodgers. They have been good at home (42-36) but have been even better away (45-36).
A 4-6 record in their last ten games is something they would like to improve on. A good team like the San Francisco Giants are the perfect opponents to test themselves before the postseason starts.
San Francisco (80-79), meanwhile, will be disappointed with how the season is ending for them. They have been good but not good enough to reach the playoffs. If only their away (36-42) record was better, they would have been fighting for the playoffs spot.
However, the recent run of games (8-2) has been excellent for them, providing joy to the fans. They would like to continue that form with a series win against the Padres.
This series will be a season-ending one for both teams. Two good teams fighting it out for a few extra wins will be super entertaining. Expect an entralling series.
