MLB_OpeningDay_TileI am one of the worst when it comes to predictions so don’t put any stock in what you read below, but it’s tradition to make predictions on Opening Day.

The Padres have made a ton of moves and you have to wonder if the moves will lead them to the playoffs or if it will be a total bust. It’s hard to believe they miss the playoffs with the roster they have put together, but it’s a long season and a lot of things have to go their way.
