MLB trends: Padres reverse course, Guardians' bullpen saves the day and Yusei Kikuchi's post-trade pitch mix
The September stretch run is almost here
By Mike Axisa • 6 min readThe dog days of summer have arrived. Teams made their moves at the July 30 trade deadline and now the postseason races (and awards races) are heating up.

Jurickson Profar SD • LF • #10 BA0.290R74HR20RBI76SB7 View ProfileLast year's Padres were maybe the biggest disappointment in baseball. Expected to contend for a World Series title, they instead went 82-80, and needed a big September (20-7) to get to 82 wins. They were done in by their performance in close games: 9-23 in one-run games and 2-12 in extra innings. Coin flips games that could have gone either way with the right bounce.
