San Diego entered the season with the highest payroll in franchise history, yet still ranked in the bottom third in MLB.[1] They finished the season with its best home record (48–33) since the opening of Petco in 2004. They tied their World Series team of 1984 with 48 home wins, which had only been exceeded by its 1978 team and their pennant-winning 1998 squad.[2]
