Earlier this week, Jones complained that the interleague schedule was "unfair" to teams like his Atlanta Braves. As a team with a "natural rival" -- Boston, the original home of the Braves -- Atlanta plays a home-and-home series with the Red Sox. Atlanta also has to play the Tigers and Indians, the top two teams in the American League Central. Division rival Florida, meanwhile, gets Tampa Bay (twice), Kansas City and Minnesota, along with the Indians and White Sox.
Jones has a point. Some teams do get tougher interleague schedules and, in a tight division, losing a few of those games could mean the difference between playing in October and sitting on the couch.
