As you saw in a post from just a few days ago the Padres have their lowest winning percentage on the 36th game of the season. Conversely the game with the highest winning percentage is Game 40. It's not an impressively high winning percentage, but we'll take it. Game 40 will be played today against the Cincinnati Reds, they don't stand a chance.
I have a theory that there's a delayed effect of losing so horribly and consistently on Game 36, after a few days the Padres gather some pride and decide to try a little harder and win on Game 40. It's a stupid theory, but it's all I got.
