Ron,
Why are the Dodgers only scheduled 13 games against the Rockies, 6 at home?
Thanks,
Jim
This new scheduling is the second step in doing away with the two different leagues. Adding the DH in the NL was the first. It will make it easier to realign the teams geographically when MLB expands to 32 teams.
