The 2019 San Diego Padres have 17 games left to play this year.
If the team goes 10-7 the rest of the way, they will end up with a 77-84 record.
Flip that, and a 7-10 record will bring them to 74-87.
In the unlikely event that this club pulls off a win streak and manages a 12-5 mark over the next three weeks, a losing record, at 79-82, will be their ultimate reward.
However you slice it, the next month of Padre baseball has very little to offer aside from evaluational opportunities and the time-honored refuge of losing ballclubs—those so-called moral victories of September.
