The San Diego Padres just need to beat LA. Darren Smith and Marty Caswell discuss the Padres series versus the Dodgers with magic number of two with Michael King on the mound. 

The two discuss how the weather may play a huge role in deciding the top National League wild card spot, with heavy rain expected in Boston for Red Sox versus Cubs, and how it might force a doubleheader on Monday. 

Marty and Darren then welcome in ESPN's Alden Gonzalez to preview Padres versus Dodges, what he's expecting from Manny Machado, the impending return of Shohei Ohtani, Roki Sasaki and Andy Pages, and how much the Dodgers need the bye week to rest their aging stars. Is the best path through the NL playoffs through the Atlanta Braves or Chicago Cubs? 

The three discuss the wild card race, what type of job Craig Stammen has done and the Padres dilemma in how they'll use Michael King in case they have a chance at the top wild card spot on the final day, Alden then previews his upcoming piece on the Padres new ownership group of Jose E. Feliciano and Kwanza Jones, and what's been so impressive about the Padres second half surge.

Padres at Dodgers, Magic number 2, ESPN's Alden Gonzalez on wild card race

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/db48c9ec-1c2c-4b07-a40a-b4cd011cf6c4/transcript

How much pressure are the Padres feeling after a rough 7-0 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers? Darren Smith and Marty Caswell discuss Michael King's rough outing, the silent offense and the Padres difficulty against the Dodgers bullpen today, which is reminiscent of when eight Dodgers pitchers shut out the Padres in the NLDS. 

The two discuss Dave Roberts comments on essentially auditioning players like Roki Sasaki and Edwin Diaz for playoff roles, and what to make of King's struggles after the Padres reshuffled their rotation. 

Marty and Darren hear from a disappointed King on his performance, plus Craig Stammen discusses moving on quickly, and why it's a no brainer for King's next start to be game one of the wild, barring a winner take all finale on Sundat. Darren and Marty also discuss the Diamondbacks putting pressure on the Padres with a big win at Colorado, and a crucial start for Robbie Ray vs. Yoshinobu Yamamoto.

Padres feeling the pressure, huge start for Robbie Ray, magic number 2

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/c533f968-1064-4b68-9b00-b4ce013118fd/transcript

The Padres magic number to clinch the final wild card spot is down to six after the Padres beat the Rockies 9-2, taking three out of 4 in Colorado. 

Marty Caswell and Darren Smith discuss Michael King's terrific performance, the Padres ability to escape Coors Field unscathed and how big a deal it was to give Mason Miller and Adrian Morejon a much-needed breather. 

The two discuss Ethan Salas' incredible two-HR performance and read into Craig Stammen's comments on Salas being on the playoff roster. How much faith are the Padres already showing in Salas and what does it mean for possibly carrying three catchers on the playoff roster? 

Darren and Marty then discuss why the path ahead to the top wild card spot and the biggest obstacles facing the Cubs and Phillies. Could the Padres rest Michael King on the final homestand and save him for game one in the playoffs? And how do Padres fans feel about the job Craig Stammen has done in his rookie season? The two read tweets from Padres fans, who are both complimentary of his on-the-job training, feel it's a deep run in the playoffs and wonder if he'll get outmanaged in the playoffs.

Padres magic number down to 6,  Michael King shines, faith in Ethan Salas

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/61384b68-a238-4bdf-a703-b4c80184e5fc/transcript

Does playoff seeding matter all that much for the San Diego Padres? Darren Smith and Marty Caswell discuss the Padres eight-game winning streak being snapped by the Colorado Rockies, and what kind of missed opportunity it was with the Phillies, Cubs, and Diamondbacks all losing. 

The two discuss the current playoff path, and if the Padres are better off facing the Braves and Dodgers than the National League Central with the best team in baseball, the Milwaukee Brewers.

Marty and Darren also discuss the 12 different players who have occupied the second spot in the lineup, some encouraging progress for Miguel Andujar, and what Ramon Laureano said about his attempt to return from hip surgery. What kind of role will Randy Vasquez have in the playoffs? 

The two discuss Vasquez's results after pitching twice in three days, and why it's a big start for Robbie Ray.
