Under the new schedule style enacted by MLB for the 2023 season, each team will play every other team in at least one series. It has taken until mid-August, but on Friday night, the Braves will finally wrap up their tour against the league, as the San Francisco Giants are the only team they haven’t yet faced this season. (Interestingly, the Braves wrapped up the AL portion of their schedule by sweeping the Yankees — the remaining six weeks of the season all feature NL opponents.)
While the Braves were busy playing every other team in MLB, the Giants are in the midst of an interesting, nearly whiplash-inducing season.
