how are they harder?.....I've noticed that some schedules are simply harder than other schedules in MLB. The only real way to correct this is, to play a 3-game series with every team in MLB outside your division at the beginning of the year, alternating home and away games every year, and then at the end of the year alternating playing teams within your own division to fight to win the division.
What say you?
The Reds, for example, had a brutal schedule at the beginning of the year as they seemingly played first place teams for a month straight.how are they harder?.....
Things will even out over 162 gamesThe Reds, for example, had a brutal schedule at the beginning of the year as they seemingly played first place teams for a month straight.
It just seems like the fair thing to do is for all teams to play the same schedule, aside from their own division competition.
College football is kind of set up this way as they play off the wall teams at the beginning of the season and then at the end play their division rivals to win their division.
No matter how badly a team does at the beginning, there will always be hope at the end of the year to be able to win your division. Fans will also be able to see every team in MLB at least every other year.
No reason not to keep it fair the entire year;Things will even out over 162 games
no one can tell how good a team is until play begins.....many first place teams from last year aint doing to good right now including the 2 defending champs Texas and Arizona....what happened to Tampa Bay and Toronto and Miami?...The Reds, for example, had a brutal schedule at the beginning of the year as they seemingly played first place teams for a month straight.

RIght, with my system there is no need to try and figure out the best teams in order to have a fair playing schedule.no one can tell how good a team is until play begins.....many first place teams from last year aint doing to good right now including the 2 defending champs Texas and Arizona....what happened to Tampa Bay and Toronto and Miami?...
if the team is good it doesnt matter how tough their schedule is....usually the best 6 teams make the playoffs and usually the teams that have the most wins get beat....RIght, with my system there is no need to try and figure out the best teams in order to have a fair playing schedule.
That is the beauty of it.
Why not have a fair schedule for all teams?if the team is good it doesnt matter how tough their schedule is....usually the best 6 teams make the playoffs and usually the teams that have the most wins get beat....
at the end of the year the ist place team in the division might have a 10 game lead.....look at last year LA,At Mil and Min ran away with their divisions.....Why not have a fair schedule for all teams?
That is the question.
And why not let fans see all the teams in MLB?
I also think that just playing division teams at the end of the year would enhance the fight to win the division.
Just my opinion is all.
But your team may get better at the end of the year when you will be facing that division leading team often.at the end of the year the ist place team in the division might have a 10 game lead.....look at last year LA,At Mil and Min ran away with their divisions.....
Considering that there are 5 teams in each division, that might be a pretty tall order.I've noticed that some schedules are simply harder than other schedules in MLB.

It is a LONG LONG seasonif the team is good it doesnt matter how tough their schedule is....usually the best 6 teams make the playoffs and usually the teams that have the most wins get beat....
if they got better at the end of the year they would not be 10 plus games out like many teams were....But your team may get better at the end of the year when you will be facing that division leading team often.
That is the point.
Not reallyConsidering that there are 5 teams in each division, that might be a pretty tall order.
6 out of 30 teams aint a lot....It is a LONG LONG season
Sometimes you will have a rough road trip, other times an easy home schedule. Teams go through winning streaks and losing streaks.
In the end, so many teams make the playoffs it doesn’t matter
the reds aint going anywhere this year....and if they played mil at the end of the year they will just be further back...Not really
There are 30 teams in MLB and each play 162 games. That leaves potentially 132 games played in the division at the end of the year.
The Reds have 5 teams in the division, which means they would have played the division leading Brewers 13 times at the end of the year.
Currently, they are only about 10 games back mid way throught the year
As a fan, you then understand you are still in it.
6 out of 15 in each league6 out of 30 teams aint a lot....
There’s always going to be moderate differences in SOS.I've noticed that some schedules are simply harder than other schedules in MLB.
