With a 10-2 win against the Colorado Rockies earlier today, the San Diego Padres continued their hot streak. The team has won 11 of their last 13 games. This streak began with seven straight victories and has included victories against the Cleveland Guardians, Washington Nationals, Baltimore Orioles, Los Angeles Dodgers, and Colorado Rockies.
A great 13-game streak has the San Diego Padres firmly entrenched in the National League playoff picture. Before this winning streak, San Diego hoovered around .500 for the majority of the season. The Padres offense has really come alive in the last 13 games as the ballclub has scored six or more runs in eight of their last 13 games. Will San Diego be able to keep up this torrid pace as the 2024 regular season enters the homestretch?

Padres Upcoming Schedule
The San Diego Padres have a day off on Monday before beginning a three-game series on the road with the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday. This will be a crucial series in the National League Wild Card race as the Pirates are trying to make up ground in the standings. San Diego continues their road trip later in the week when they head down to the “Sunshine State” for a three-game set with the Miami Marlins.
The San Diego Padres have helped their playoff chances immensely over the last few weeks by winning 11 of their last 13 games. They must continue playing well to keep pace in a crowded National League playoff picture. They are looking to qualify for the MLB Playoffs for the third time in the last five seasons. If the team can continue playing well, no team in Major League Baseball will want to see them down the stretch of the regular season.
