Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the MLB. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Padres fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.
The San Diego Padres enter their three-game series against the Minnesota Twins with a record of 75-59 and are in second place in the National League West standings. The Padres completed their season series with the Los Angeles Dodgers before starting the current road trip, which
saw them drop two-of-three games to the Seattle Mariners. The Dodgers have a record of 77-57 and hold the top spot in the West after a three-game sweep of the Cincinnati Reds, putting them two games ahead of the Padres for the NL West lead.
Gaslamp Ball readers were asked earlier this week for their predictions on how the NL West Division will look after 162 games, and which of the six teams currently holding a playoff spot in the National League will reach the World Series.
Below are the results of those polls.
Now, the question is, can the Padres do anything to change the predictions over the remaining 28 games? A win to open the series, Friday against the Twins will get the Padres and the Friar Faithful one game closer to that answer.
