July 6, 20205 yr I came across this article of a leaked Cubs schedule and it shows the White Sox/Cubs playing 6 times with uneven schedules. I thought it was only suppose to be 4 games each against NL central? https://www.cubsinsider.com/2020/07/06/cubs-2020-schedule-revealed-season-opens-against-brewers-at-wrigley-features-very-uneven-divisional-splits/
July 6, 20205 yr Definitely not the 10 vs division opponents and 4 vs opposite division opponents. It’ll be a mix of 9 to 11 in the division, over 3 series; and 3, 4, or 6 games vs the NL Central.

July 6, 20205 yr Another interesting thing to note is the balance of home/road games. Instead of playing 5 home games and 5 road games against divisional opponents, the Cubs play 3/7 3/7 and 7/3 7/3. With our luck, the Sox will have to play 7 times in Minnesota and Cleveland.

Hopefully vs the Indians/Twins it’s three series, home and away; and same with Royals/Tigers.

No fans will be at the games anyway. So the great crowds in Minny and Cleveland are neutralized in this scenario.

July 6, 20205 yr Saw a different version of the Cubs schedule...and it does look like 10 vs the four division teams. Either 7 home/3 away, or the reverse. So yeah, it better not be 14 road games vs the Twins and Indians. The Cubs have 14 home vs Cardinals and Brewers, and 14 road vs Reds and Pirates. Edited July 6, 20205 yr by flavum

Off topic, what is the status of the Twins 2and best pitcher Michael Pineda? Will he have to miss nearly this entire season since it is only 60 games?

His suspension is prorated for the shortened season. So he'll miss the first 39 games.
July 6, 20205 yr On that some note though, the Twins get Rich Hill for the full year when he would've been injured for the first few months. Much like our deal with Rodon.

Rich Hill coming back will help them big time, but us getting a potential full year of Kopech (hopefully) and Rodon is just as good.
July 6, 20205 yr The leaked Cubs schedule shows the Cubs playing the Sox the last 3 games of the regular season. How great will that series be if both teams are in the playoff hunt!!! ?
July 6, 20205 yr Opening against the Twins. Nice! Friday, July 24 at home at 7:10 PM. Edited July 6, 20205 yr by SoxBlanco

July 6, 20205 yr Love that we end the season against the Cubs. If one or both are in the hunt for the playoffs, those games will be crazy.
