It’s unclear whether we’ll see Phillies baseball played this summer or not. Despite things initially appearing to be heading in the right direction, Max Scherzer’s recent comments have left fans feeling far more pessimistic as of late.
However, if baseball is in fact played in 2020, one of the rumored changes that would occur would be that of teams exclusively playing opponents within their division as well as opponents in the corresponding interleague division. For example, the Phillies would only play teams in the NL East and the AL East.
A change like this completely shakes up the entire league, and provides the Phillies with an entire new set of opponents to worry about.
