The New York Mets will likely play a local schedule in the modified 2020 season. Reports state the Mets will play 40 games against their NL East opponents, with the rest of the 20 games coming against the AL East. This creates the most competitive “10-team” division in baseball.
Plan is for teams to play 40 games in division and 20 games interleague with their geographic counterpart (East vs. East, etc.) #MLB

Outside of the Orioles, every game will be a highly competitive matchup as 8 of the ten teams have definite playoff aspirations.
