MLB Expected To Release Schedule On Monday

By George Miller | July 4, 2020 at 5:11pm CDT

Major League Baseball is expected to officially release the 2020 regular season schedule on Monday, according to Bob Nightengale of USA Today.

As we know, teams will play 60 regular season games against teams in their division and the geographic counterpart in the opposite league; that is, the AL East will play other AL East teams along with NL East clubs. The regional format of the season will no doubt offer an intriguing twist to an exceedingly abnormal year.

With the release of the schedule, Nightengale says, we’re expected to learn that the year will kick off on July 23 with two nationally-televised games: Yankees at Nationals and Giants at Dodgers, with the other 26 teams opening the season the following day. If those are indeed the first games of the year, it’d be hard to dream up a better way to welcome baseball back, with the matchup between the Yankees and Nats presumably pitting new Yankee Gerrit Cole against Max Scherzer. Not to mention one of the fiercest rivalries in baseball on the West Coast, it’d certainly be an attention-grabbing Opening Day.

We’ll eagerly await the release of the MLB schedule in the coming days, signaling the hopeful return of (safe) baseball on the horizon, as well as all the excitement, expectation, and intrigue that comes with it.

    At least they’re not ruining future seasons with their insistence on playing this year unlike the NHL and NBA who are already ruining their schedules for next season just to finish this one.

    Go Giants! Giants/Orioles World Series! With 60 games that’s a possibility!

      It definitely isn’t with divisional games making up even a bigger percentage of the season but whatever keeps you excited!

      No its not. The Orioles will still suck, 60 games or 162. I’ll take bets with anyone in the “Its going to be a Tigers Marlins World Series” crowd.

      If they played through to Halloween, the teams’ colors would be perfect.

    The first game is nice, but the second game isn’t much of a draw. Giants stink and won’t bring eyes to the televisions. If they didn’t want to do the Diamondbacks with the Dodgers, they could have done the Angels or A’s. My choice would have been Dodgers and Astros but it would have been a brutal scene – although the entire country would have been watching to see what happens. They will have to play each other at some point this year…

      It’s a rivalry. They still nationally televise games between Giants/Dodgers, Yankees/Red Sox, and Cubs/Cardinals even if one of those teams are bad.

    They need to call this off. Players are testing positive all over the place. No one knows what long-term effects this disease can have. Careers could be ruined. It’s not worth it.
