reducing the number of games, what I'd like to see are less divisional games and more games outside of the division. It should be similar to the NBA, where all 30 teams get to play at least one home and road series against other teams outside their divisions. There are 162 games, so they should be able to find a way to make that work. As an A's fan, it gets boring to see them play the Angels, Astros, Mariners, and Rangers all the time. They have to play each team 19 times!
