Still wouldnt you think a team with the 2nd best pitching in the MLB would be up by at least 7,8 games over a very weak NL West division? There shouldnt even be a race right now. They should have clinched 2 weeks ago with that kind of throwers in that kind of division.

True.They should have won close to 90 games already.They can get a little chilly with the bats for a while.I think they struggled to score runs in their own park during the middle of the season.I also think they struggled to beat the Giants this year.Your right.They have the potential to do more than they have.By far the best pitchers in the NL West are on the Padres.Sele,Tomko,and Dessens wouldn't make that team.They would get rid of them.At their very best,the Dodgers can beat them.Only when they play their best though.

In the Padre's defense, that park is a very tough place to score a lot of runs. Which is probably why they have a slightly better record on the road than they do in San Diego. I dont like their chances in the playoffs. I consider them the weakest team that will be in the playoffs in both leagues.
