With the LA/SF series heating up, thought it would be good to get a thread going devoted just to the H2H of the three teams battling for the division.
LA/SF: LA leads series 7-6 with 6 to play.
LA/SD: SD leads series 7-3 with 9 to play.
SD/SF: SF leads series 5-4 with 10 to play.
Needless to say, even though the Pads are in 3rd, they still control their own destiny to win the division.

Agreed - although if the Pads are serious about winning their first WS, they're gonna have to figure out how to be better on the road, especially during crunch time vs. good teams (e.g. see the Nats championship). Snell FINALLY pitching on the road yesterday as we've been waiting months for is a good start. |

The problem is against the bad teams, they aren't winning. LA is 17-3 against the Rockies and Diamomdbacks, the Padres are just 12-9. |

I'll be attending my first game in 3 years next week vs. the Rox, hopefully that will start to turn the tide  |

It's not like our splits vs. those teams are any worse on the road than at home thus far. Momentum is only as good as the starting pitcher, so we'll see where our staff vs. theirs is at the time. |

In case anyone's curious about a hypothetical 3-way tie after 162: Ties among multiple teams Playoff games for multiple-way ties Tied teams are designated as A, B, and C. Choice for one of these designations is first given to the team winning the tie-breakers (listed below). While A is usually the "best" designation, there are some scenarios where C has a different path to the postseason. If a division title is up for grabs, then those divisional teams will select from the first designations (A, B,...). On Day 1, A will host B and C will host D (if there is no fourth team, C will be considered to have won this game). Games on Day 2 may occur as follows: If the teams are all competing for 1 playoff spot, then the A/B winner will host the C/D winner for that spot. If 3 teams, not all tied for the same division lead, are competing for 2 playoff spots, C will host the A/B loser for the second spot. If 3 or 4 teams, tied for the same division's lead, both win on Day 1, then the A/B winner will host the C/D winner to determine the division title. The loser of this Day 2 game will earn a wild card spot. If four teams are competing for three spots, the A/B loser hosts the C/D loser for the a wild card. Determining team designations The order in which teams pick their designations (A, B, C) will be determined by the following 5-step tie-breaking system. If there is a tie for both wild card and division title spots, then the first designations will match teams competing for their division title. Winning/Losing season series against each of the other tied teams (only if a 3 way tie) Winning percentage among all tied teams Winning percentage in intradivision games Winning percentage in the last half of intraleague play If still tied, the next most recent intraleague game is added into this winning percentage (skipping games between tied teams) until not all teams are tied. If at any given step some, but not all, teams remain tied, then those teams that are still tied revert to Step 1. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Major_League_Baseball_tie-breaking_procedures |

SD/SF: SF leads series 5-4 with 10 to play. The Padres will control their own destiny, especially if the trade deadline is fruitful like I expect it to be. |

SD/SF: SF leads series 5-4 with 10 to play. Great throw by Bellinger. It reminded me of the throws Garvey used to make early in his career when he played 3rd base. |

I do think Muncy cutting in front of him had a slight impact, but talk about completely misplaying a ball. I guess the question is why was he even playing 1B? Are they that limited right now? Pulling for LA tonight (which is hard to say) & SF Thursday, both in 15 innings! Just beat each other up. |
