So, I (Orin) just realized: Padres is Spanish for Priests (and "dads" of course, but in this case, seeings as San Diego's mascot is a Franciscan friar, we'll go with Priests), and
The Cardinals, while named for the bird, the bird is named because it's red, just like our Cardinals in Rome.

I would root for the Cardinals. I don't have a good reason for that. My instinct would ordinarily be to go with the priest who is "in the field", but this is baseball and not church. My loyalties are with the men in red! GO CARDS!
