With Padres now among the playoff eligible, that leaves L.A. out in the cold as the only division member not neck-and-neck for the NL West’s top spot. In the grand scheme of things, however, the Padres and Dodgers are relative equals. In fact, according to the MLB futures, it’s Los Angeles that sits ahead of state rival San Diego with 33/1 odds of winning the World Series. The Padres, in contrast, have just 40/1 odds. Over the course of the 2013, Padres fans have seen young Jedd Gyorko and Everth Cabrera rise to new heights, joined in the lineup by underrated power bats like Yonder Alonso and Kyle Blanks. The order may not strike fear in the hearts of their opposition, but the winning speaks for itself.
