Already out, September schedule looks to be a beast.
Ending with the Nats/Astros is ****ty.

Being done with Arizona and San Diego within the first 2 weeks of the season is strange...\
Then ending the season at home vs Washington and Houston is going to be sick

I think it's because we're also playing the AL West next year so travel logistics are that way.
Normally MLB tries to schedule west coast trips for East Coast teams to be grouped up to make traveling easier. They're usually at the start of a road trip, ending with a road series either back in the Central or East before a homestand.
This year we're playing the AL Central + 1 AL East team (blue jays). For years we'd always play a home and away split series with what was considered our natural rival. For years it was Boston, then when we sucked and Philly was good, MLB considered Philly and Boston to be a natural rivalry. But now that we're good again and Phillies blow, looks like BOS is going to be our home and away 2 and 2 split series.
Before when it was 14-16 in AL-NL the 2 and 2 series would be the same way, Monday-Tuesday at home then Wednesday-Thursday away. But seems since we switched to the 15-15 leagues that you do 2 early in the season then 2 away later on.
The old way of interleague was much simpler. 2002 we went to mostly AL Central (but had a weird series with Texas + Boston). 2003 we went to AL West in Oakland and Seattle. And before the 15-15 split, interleague was a 2-week long thing.

Meh. Soto will be 42. Tendon will be a brave. Max will be on a little rascal. Maybe the gnats series will be easy.

I hope the Braves have multiple tendons per roster spot, or we're really in trouble.

Thankfully the Braves come here in July next year and not April. April baseball in Denver is a dicey proposition.
Thankfully the Rangers new stadium next year will have a retractable roof. Seeing the Braves at the end of June would of been hot as **** otherwise.
Y’all remember when we closed with the Astros two years in a row in ‘06-07?
