![]() ![]() That’s another scheduled Opening Day in Miami (20 Opening Days were originally scheduled to be in Miami, but the pandemic and the lockout, respectively, canceled those home games). That’s an action-packed first month of the season. Here’s a month-by-month breakdown of who the Marlins play, when they play, where they will play, and some of my thoughts about specific matchups. As an out-of-town Marlins fan, it gives me more opportunities to see the Marlins without having to get on an airplane. How many Minnesota Twins fans have seen their team play in Miami before? Not many. The other reason is for fans to travel and see their team more often. Teams in weaker divisions won’t be able to inflate their records to the same extent by beating up on nearby opponents. Why would MLB choose to do this now? Well, there are two solid reasons behind it, with the main one being the Wild Card race. The Marlins will host full series against each of those teams and travel to their stadiums as well. However, games against NL Central and NL West teams have stayed the same. Division games had to be sacrificed for this to work-the usual 19 games that the Marlins typically play against each division rival have been cut down to just 13 games. Every team now plays series against each other, as the Marlins will get to see all 15 AL teams in the same season. Interleague play is being expanded for the 2023 season. Those will be earlier than they were this season-typically 4:10 p.m.-following feedback that the team has received from fans. Most home game start times for the Marlins will look familiar except for Saturdays. ![]()
