I was just reading that MLB is going to a balanced schedule in 2023.
Specifically, the schedule will be as follows for all teams:
1. 14 games vs Division foes (its currently 19 / 4 teams * 14 games = 56)
2. 6 games against other teams in league (10 teams * 6 games = 60)
3. 4 games vs Designated Rival ( 4 Mets / Yankees games = 4)
4. 3 games vs rest of other league (14 teams * 3 games = 42)
What's everyone's thoughts on the above? I'm ok with it as it'll be nice to see every team each year - a la getting a chance to see Mike Trout / Vlad Guerrero etc annually.
As I get older, I realize I'm not as caught up with the old style traditionalist mentality.
