They will play six or seven games against each of the other 10 same - league opponents for a total of 66 games, and 20 inter-league games. The primary inter-league match - ups are AL East vs NL East, AL Central vs NL Central, and AL West vs NL West. Since `` natural rivalry '' matchups are part of the three - year divisional rotation, the schedule format for interleague games will be different from previous years. The 20 interleague games each team will play will consist of two three - game series ( one home, one away ) against its natural rival ( total of six games ), two two - game series ( one home, one away ) against each team for two other opponents ( total of eight games ), and a single three - game series against each team for the last two ( one home, one away ; total of six games ). Under the new collective bargaining agreement reached in December 2016, the regular season has been extended to 187 days in order to add four additional off - days for all teams. All teams were scheduled to play Opening Day, March 29 -- the earliest domestic start of a regular season in MLB history. There will no longer be a Sunday - night game on the final Sunday before the All - Star Game. A single, nationally televised afternoon game will be played on the Thursday after the All - Star Game ( which for 2018, will be played between the St. Louis Cardinals and Chicago Cubs ), before all other teams return from break the next day. The Minnesota Twins and the Cleveland Indians played a two - game series at Hiram Bithorn Stadium in San Juan, Puerto Rico on April 17 and 18, while the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres will play a three - game series at Estadio de Béisbol Monterrey in Monterrey, Mexico from May 4 to 6. The Little League Classic game at BB&T Ballpark in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, coinciding with the Little League World Series, will return to the schedule. It will be played between the Philadelphia Phillies and the New York Mets on August 19. Rule changes Beginning in the 2018 season, MLB implemented new pace of play rules, which include limiting the amount of mound visits for each team to six visits per nine innings. Teams will receive an additional visit for every extra inning played. Standings Division American League National League American League East Pct.
