Series Preview: Cardinals at Padres
The Padres are red-hot and ready to welcome the Cardinals to San Diego.
Tempers flared last week when the San Diego Padres split their series on the road against the St. Louis Cardinals. Now, with a few new additions from the trade deadline, the Padres welcome the Cardinals to Petco Park and try to keep their winning streak intact.
Team Records
Cardinals: 55-55 (23-31 away)
Padres: 60-49 (34-18 home)
The Padres split last week's series in St. Louis but things are likely to be different at Petco Park, with the Padres (a great home team) bringing in a 5-game winning streak and the Cardinals carrying an 8-16 record for the month of July.
The Cardinals sit in 4th place in the NL Central, 10.0 games back from the Brewers. The Padres sit in 2nd place in the NL West, 3.0 games back from the Dodgers.
