The Padres have their highest winning percentage on May 31 if you don't count the few games in the last two days of March.

Date	Wins	Games	Win %
30-Mar	1	1	100
31-Mar	3	4	75
31-May	31	43	72.09
6-Oct	2	3	66.67
10-Aug	28	44	63.64

The Padres have played every year on May 31st except for 1973, 1984 and 2012. They split a doubleheader on this date in 1971.

Their longest yearly streak on May 31st was 9 games. The Padres are currently on an 8 game win streak. A win today, makes history. I can't wait.
