Not sure if there is a solution but it seems a bit unfair. The only advantage is that the Dodgers have 3 home games and Padres have 2.
Makes 0 sense to me. Play 162 games and then need to win a series of 5. In other words teams need to concentrate on 5 of the 167 games that they play to get to the playoffs or 5/167 games which is .0059. Season is too long. Remenber Mr. October, Reggie Jackson?
