Yeah, yeah we still have more than a month left in 2018 season, and in the case of the Yankees they hope to be playing deep into October. But, Major League baseball released the 2019 schedule today.
If you are a Mets fan that is about the only left to get excited for. So let's throw a bone to the Mets fan.
The Metroplitans will open up the 2019 season on the road in Washington D.C., March 28, and will continue the road trip down to Miami. This will mark the second straight year that Major League Baseball will begin the season in March, an edict by Commissioner Rob Manfred to create more days off for players.
The Mets home opener is not until April 4 against the Nationals.
In interleague action, the Mets will face the AL Central, with battles at Citi Field against the Twins, Indians and Tigers slatted for next season. The Mets will visit the Twins, Royals and White Sox next year. The Mets and Yankees will play two sets of two-game series next season. One pair will take place June 10 and 11 at Yankee Stadium. The other series will take place July 2 and 3 from Citi Field.
As for the Yankees they will open up next year at home March 28 against the Orioles. Will this be Manny Machado's first game in Pinstripes? Will there be another March blizzard?
The Yankees get their first licks at the Red Sox April 16 and 17 at Yankee Stadium. Oddly their first visit to Boston next year doesn't come until July 25. The reason? They play two games as the "road team" against the Red Sox in London in June.
Regarding Interleague play, the Yankees will be matched up against the NL West. That includes trips to San Francisco, Arizona, and Dodgers Stadium. The Yankees will host the D-Backs, Rockies and Padres at Yankees Stadium next year.
