We finally have an official plan for a 2020 MLB season and the 60 game schedule will come with some unique twists. Here they are summed up by the lovely Rockies Twitter page:
One of the great things about the upcoming, condensed season is the fact that every team has a chance. 60 games is an absolute sprint and a hot start this year could mean an unexpected playoff berth. A skid to kick off the year could mean even more trouble than usual. Take last year’s World Series winning Nationals who went 19-31 through their first 50 last year—needless to say that wouldn’t fly in a 60 game season.
