SD: RHP Walker Buehler(9-6, 4.56 ERA, 56 BB, 128 K, .255 BAA)Sunday, September 27 - 12:10pm
ARI: RHP Michael Soroka(9-5, 3.31 ERA, 27 BB, 110 K, .225 BAA)
SD: ?HP ???(---, -.-- ERA, -- BB, -- K, .--- BAA)The Padres are riding high after winning the series over the Dodgers and clinching a playoff berth. They enter the final series of the regular season with an opportunity to secure home field advantage.
They could do that on Friday with a win, a Phillies loss to the Rays and the Cubs losing both games to the Red Sox in a double header.
Mize is scheduled to go today. But, with Monday off they can start Buehler today and Mize tomorrow, which would be better. Vasquez could start on Sunday, so King can start game 1 of the wild card with Pivetta and Buehler to follow.
If the Padres do secure home field advantage tonight on Friday, winning the final two games would be moot and Stammen would have plenty of options.

Quote from Jeremy Hill on September 25, 2026, 4:35 pmThe Cubs lost the first game of the double header. Game 2 is still scoreless. I just saw that game 3 is going to be played on Sunday in Tampa Bay because of the weather concerns in Boston. If we end up playing the Cubs that should only help our chances.
The UT certainly made it seem like Sheets would be back today. That doesn't seem to be the case with lineups out.

I NEVER want to see this dude throw a pitch for our team EVER again!
What an incredibly lousy trade....

Quote from WindsorUK on September 25, 2026, 7:14 pmReally rather frustrating that we have a chance to get home field for the 1st round and we're p***ing it away by leaving this stiff in.
We REALLY could use home field if we want to have any chance.
