Padres Playoff-bound?

MLB.com has an article posted commenting on how teams in first place (or leading the Wild Card) on Labor Day usually make the playoffs.

Since baseball expanded the playoffs in 1995, 73 of 92 leaders (67 first-place clubs and 25 other teams either in sole possession or tied for first in the Wild Card standings) went on to reach the playoffs.

That's a 79.3-percent success rate for the teams on top when the fireworks subsided on Labor Day. Conversely, only 20.7 percent of the leaders, or 18 teams, missed the playoffs after leading on Labor Day.

Sounds good to me!
