Will The Padres Win The NL West Next Season?

The NL West tournament of this season was quite well for every team. However, the San Diego Padres finished their postseason against the Los Angeles Dodgers with a winning note. In their last game, the San Diego Padres won the match by a 12-3 margin. However, with this margin, they raised the expectations from their sides for the next season. With many talented players on their sides, the team management hopes for better performance in the next season. This season wasn't meant for the Los Angeles Padres.

However, this season was different from other seasons. 

Just like the year 2020, this was a complete waste season for them. The San Diego Padres ended their long run of qualifying into the playoffs. This is after 14 years that they managed to make a place in the playoffs. However, they also sealed a wild card entry against the St. Louis Cardinals. Later on, they went on to win the game against the St. Louis Cardinals.

However, this turned the luck of the San Diego Padres in their favor only. 

Youngsters are the real power of the San Diego Padres. However, the team management has always shown faith in their youngsters, which in return now pay for them. Most of their players are ready to do the best they can for their sides.

Final Words:

It is always tricky to predict any team's performance for the next season, that too based on the current season. But this is a little easy in the case of the San Diego Padres.
