San Diego Padres vs. Washington Nationals, first game of the series. The last series at home for the Padres was a failure. So far the record at home is still negative but for only two games. This long series of four games is another opportunity to repair the record. The Nats won the last series, but the record on the road is still negative this season. None of the teams have a good future in the league.
San Diego Padres: Little to be positive.
The Padres this season have a negative record at home with 16 wins and 18 defeats. The team only needs three victories so that the record is positive. Before of this series the Padres lost against the Phillies 1-2. Also against the Marlins 1-2 at home. But before those two series, the Padres won four straight games, including a series against the Diamondbacks.
