After winning the National League West pennant last night, the San Diego Padres have quickly established themselves as one of the most chump-tastic franchises ever to reach the postseason, sporting a lofty 79-79 record, which in many ways has oddsmakers dismissing them from the playoffs all together. Right now, the Padres are +800 to win the National League pennant according to bookmaker BetonSports.com and may see even greater odds from other sportsbooks as soon as they finish making their post-season lines. The Padres will most likely face the St. Louis Cardinals—barring the Philadelphia Phillies win the wildcard(NOPE)—which will most likely be done in three games. However, our Corky-esque sibling over at Deadspin seems a bit worried about his Cardinals for some reason. Ah, Midwesterners.
