Padres 79-79

The San Diego Padres clinched the mild, mild NL West at .500, then partied like they were 1.000.

Now the Padres (79-79) need to win three of their last four games to finish above .500 for just the 11th time in their history. Since 1969, and excluding strike years, the 1973 New York Mets own the lowest winning percentage of a division champion by going 82-79 (.509) to win the NL East. - Sports Illustrated

If The Padres played in the NL East they would be last and 10 1/2 games back. NL Central 3rd and 17 1/2 games back. AL Central 4th/16 games back. AL East 3rd/14 games back. AL West 3rd/12 games back.
