Those in weekly leagues should note how many games each team plays, as well as which players will gain/lose at-bats because of interleague play; those in daily leagues should note first-pitch times and Monday/Thursday off-days.

This week’s schedule is particularly strange, as every team will play a pair of two-game, home-and-home interleague “series”. For example, the Braves will play the Red Sox in Boston on both Monday and Tuesday; then the Red Sox will travel to Atlanta to play the Braves on Wednesday and Thursday.
This construct obviously leads to every team gaining and losing a DH, as well as having seven games. It’s worth noting that the Cubs play a weekend series in Minnesota, giving them an extra three games with a DH.
