The San Diego Padres were terrific at Petco Park this season, going 52-29 on their way to an NL wild card. It was a different story on the road, where Manny Machado and company finished with a 38-43 record. Machado and the Padres are back on the road for the first round of the playoffs, beginning on Tuesday afternoon when they face Dansby Swanson and the Chicago Cubs in the opener of their best-of-three series at Wrigley Field. Nick Pivetta pitches for San Diego, and Matthew Boyd starts for Chicago.
