San Diego Padres Form
San Diego enter the postseason having put together a 90-72 record to finish second in the NL West.
The Padres ended the regular season on a strong run of form as they won seven of their final eight games.
They began this strong sequence on the road as they rebounded from road losses to the New York Mets and Chicago White Sox with 7-3 and 3-2 wins over the Sox.
San Diego then built on that at home as they beat Milwaukee 5-4 and 7-0, before dropping the series finale 3-1.
The Padres rebounded immediately from that loss though, wrapping up the regular season with a series sweep of Arizona thanks to 7-4, 5-1 and 12-4 victories.
Chicago Cubs Form
Chicago booked their place in the playoffs by compiling a 92-70 record to finish second in the NL Central.
The Cubs blew hot and cold over the final few weeks of the regular season, costing them an opportunity to win the division.
They won seven times in an eight-game spell earlier in September, with a victory in Pittsburgh during that run securing postseason baseball.
Chicago went cold immediately after that though as they lost five straight, and they then failed to build on a 10-3 win over the New York Mets as they lost the series finale 8-5.
The Cubs bounced back at home to St Louis however, as they swept the Cardinals thanks to 12-1, 7-3 and 2-0 wins to end the regular season.
