Mlb Braves Schedule
Should MLB balance the interleague schedule so teams play only a certain division instead of local rivalries?
Mets and Braves come to mind as playing a tougher schedule than the others in their division. What do you all think.
Fans thrive off of local rivalries. Especially with the Orioles Nationals when the clubs play in Washington. There are still a good amount of Orioles fan in the DC area who can buy a ticket and only have to travel maybe 20 minutes to see the Orioles play instead of an 45 minutes to hour (depending on where you live) for a night game in cooler weather. And there are also some Nats fans that show up to Oriole Park.
Plus you still have the Cubs White Sox which is a big thing now in Chicago, of course the Mets and the Yankees, the Freeway series with the Angels and the Dodgers, the interstate series of the Rangers and the Astros, etc. Fans tend to look forward to games against the local or instate rival.
I think the only way to have true balance is to get rid of interleague play all together, or at least compromise to the point where all you have is 6 games vs. one interleague rival. 3 in one ballpark, 3 in the other. This way the wildcard race is a bit more balanced and honest for a true winner when everyone in their respective leagues has to play eachother the same amount of times.
However that’s not going to happen. Interleague is here to stay.
