How Did the San Diego Padres Do in 2024?
The San Diego Padres finished with a 93-69 record, securing the NL’s top Wild Card spot. They showcased a balanced attack, with a solid lineup and a pitching staff that helped them maintain a +91 run differential.
They advanced past the Wild Card round (2-0 vs. Braves) and reached the NLDS, but their run ended there, as they were eliminated by the soon-to-be World Series Champions, the Dodgers (3-1). San Diego will look to build on this performance for a deeper run next season.
