Because MLB expanded its regular-season schedule to include an extra weekend, we've decided to count the games from March 31-April 3 as Week 1 in the FBLG head-to-head schedule.
What this will allow us to do is play an 18-game regular season and return the semifinal playoff round to a best-of-3 series while eliminating Week 27 from the head-to-head format.
So it's a win-win-win situation.
Well, almost. The one drawback is the short week 1.
So as you set your Week 1 lineup, be aware that if any of your pitchers are the No. 4 or 5 pitchers in the teams' rotation, they won't pick in Week 1 (unless they pitch for the Dodgers or Giants, who actually play 4 games in Week 1).
This list of pitchers may include the likes of Cole Hamels, Joe Blanton, Madison Bumgarner, Jair Jurrjens, Randy Wolf among others.
We'll try to put up a post of projected pitching rotation orders sometime next week before Week 1 rosters need to be set on March 31.
