Does it really matter if there’s not a long homestand in the summer months? Maybe, for ticket sales, but I don’t know if it will affect the team any. The longest homestands of the season will take place in September (10 games) and April (9 games). That trip has off days at the start and finish as well as one in the middle when the O’s come back east from Seattle. The Orioles will visit Los Angeles and Oakland with an off day scheduled on either side of the trip in early May, but they won’t get to Seattle until the middle leg of a Kansas City-Seattle-Tampa trip in early September.
#2018 mlb schedule oakland series
The O’s will host the Nationals starting on the Monday of Memorial Day weekend, then head to Washington for a Tuesday-Thursday series from June 19-21.Īnother difference from this season is that the O’s trip out west will not take place all in one long, brutal swing. The games are three home and three away and they take place about a month apart, rather than consecutively. If the non-Washington teams in the division are as bad as this year, that will be OK for the O’s. They’ll face the rest of the NL East teams three times apiece.
That means that the O’s will play six games against the Nationals, rather than the four games they have played recently. One big quirk of next year’s schedule is that the O’s will be facing the National League East for their interleague games. After the standard day after Opening Day off day, they finish the Twins series on a Saturday and Sunday before hitting the road for the first time. The O’s open the 2018 season at home against the Twins, with Opening Day coming early, on March 29. Helpfully, MLB released the 2018 schedules on Tuesday afternoon, so we now know where and on which days the Orioles will play against whom, though game times will be settled later. As the 2017 Orioles unfortunately starts to slip away, there’s no better time than to start looking forward to next season.
