The Giants hardly rolled over this weekend. The Padres still found a way to roll through San Francisco, pushing their win streak to seven games as they head to Coors Field for a four-game series with a team barreling toward a fourth straight 100-loss season.<\/p>\n
Who knows what\u2019s in store for them in that house of horrors, but they travel to Denver with a 2\u00bd-game lead on the Diamondbacks and the Cubs and Phillies suddenly within reach (they are tied for the top wild-card spot, 1\u00bd games ahead of the Padres).<\/p>\n
As such, the Padres\u2019 postseason odds are up to 77% at Fangraphs.com, their highest during this post-All-Star-break surge.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think the guys, we have the ability to turn it up a little bit,\u201d Padres manager Craig Stammensaid. \u201cAt least the focus. And turning up focus doesn\u2019t necessarily mean, like, playing well and winning games. It\u2019s hard to win games. But I think the focus, the attention to detail, has been turned up. \u2026 We\u2019ve played good baseball, and we\u2019ve won quite a few games here lately. So it\u2019s a good time to get on a good run, and hopefully that carries us on the rest of the year.\u201d<\/p>\n
