Game 40
Last week I revealed to you that the Padres historically play horribly on Game 36 of the season, winning only 18.18% 17.78% of their games.
This is different. This is Game 40 where the Padres dominate, winning 70.45% of their games, more than any other game number.

The next closest games are still 4 wins away. It doesn't get any better than Game 40.

Let's look back at the past 44 years at all the Game 40s. The first thing I notice is that the Padres only have winning streaks. Their longest a 9 game streak from 1985 to 1993, their shortest two games on several different occasions. They never have more than a 3 loss streak and that came in their first 3 years in existence.
