In case you missed it, Major League Baseball will play the 2020 season with a 60-game schedule, plus the playoffs. That means 102 games were cut off from the calendar, and there will be more space for fluky, random outcomes for both individuals and clubs.
Despite the situation, and the fact that some in the industry have said that contenders such as the New York Yankees have increased pressure with the shorter schedule, manager Aaron Boone stoked the fire and implied his team is expected to win it all anyway, with a long or short calendar.
