Special thanks to DylanBradbury for his schedule generator, which i used to add a couple of random schedules with the Astros in the AL West for the next two seasons (i don't remember what happens after the third season).
And i know this is a job that he usually does but with this atypical year i was not sure that he will be abble to make it again, so i took the iniciative to write the schedules and share it with those like me who are still playing this game.
 
Take care and wash your hands 🙂
