*** Need help - 2024 MLB schedule

[CBLCardinals]

Hey gang,

Has anyone created the schedule for the 2024 MLB season?

If so can you please post?
I’m working on a 2024 updated league file and would love to include the updated schedule.

Thanks in advance!

Below will be my effort. Feel free to use as a starting point for other versions like with tweaks or as more gametimes are set.

I took info from https://www.baseball-reference.com/l...schedule.shtml. That source was easier to parse, though there are a lot of missing gametimes there, more than like ESPN shows. Some items worth noting are described further below.

First key is that team numbers correspond to what is built into the schedule. This mapping should be correct, but if for some reason your league does not have this, the schedules using this mapping will not be correct.

Baltimore Orioles     =  1
Boston Red Sox        =  2
New York Yankees      =  3
Tampa Bay Rays        =  4
Toronto Blue Jays     =  5
Chicago White Sox     =  6
Cleveland Guardians   =  7
Detroit Tigers        =  8
Kansas City Royals    =  9
Minnesota Twins       = 10
Houston Astros        = 11
Los Angeles Angels    = 12
Oakland Athletics     = 13
Seattle Mariners      = 14
Texas Rangers         = 15
Atlanta Braves        = 16
Miami Marlins         = 17
New York Mets         = 18
Philadelphia Phillies = 19
Washington Nationals  = 20
Chicago Cubs          = 21
Cincinnati Reds       = 22
Milwaukee Brewers     = 23
Pittsburgh Pirates    = 24
St Louis Cardinals    = 25
Arizona Diamondbacks  = 26
Colorado Rockies      = 27
Los Angeles Dodgers   = 28
San Diego Padres      = 29
San Francisco Giants  = 30

For the missing game times, which are mostly all of several teams home games, I took 7:05pm local for weekday games and 1:05pm local for Sat/Sun games. That makes a number of games on the last day of the season not fit the pattern of having all games start about the same time.

The Seoul Series (https://www.mlb.com/news/mlb-world-tour-2024) has the Padres and Dodgers playing regular season games a full week before anyone else, so that makes things a little unusual.

There is one schedule doubleheader, Rangers @ Athletics on Wed May 8. With no gametimes for Oakland in my source, I took the default time (noted above) for the first game and set the second to start 3 hours later.

Oh awesome thank you GMO!!!!

To import this to my league file any settings need to be updated/changed in OOTP?

[gmo]

All the settings should be fine if going from an MLB standard game originally from an OOTP not several versions ago. Make sure the settings are for 162 games per team, interleague play on, balanced games off.

If the league was homemade or many years old, there is a chance the team numbers in the league do not all match with what is defined in the file. Can always check the first full day of the regular season after the import to make sure the matchups align with real life.

That message implies a problem with the content of the file. Which one are you using? Could you attach the file to a reply here?

Thanks for the notice on this. Surprised this did not come up earlier. It affects both the files I put above, so I have updated them.

There were several instances of gametimes of like "2410". Looks like how I was converting had some confusion around time zones and when to add twelve hours to get into that 24-hour clock format. To fix it I just changed all those cases from having hour of "24" to hour of "12" and re-uploaded.

This was probably a case of "if pm then add 12 hours", forgetting 12 pm exists.
