Abstract
Major League Baseball is currently a competition between 30 teams, 16 in the National League and 14 in the American. Each league is divided into three divisions—East, Central, and West. Each team plays a 162-game schedule during the regular season, playing most of its games against teams in its own league. We say “most” because beginning with the 1997 season, MLB has experimented with inter-league play, where each team from the National League plays approximately 15 games against selected opponents from the American League.
