First Month NL East Schedule Stuff

The Marlins will stay on the east coast in April, making two trips
playing NL East rivals besides being at home. On the other hand, the
Phillies start the season in Arlington, Texas, and spend 16 of their
first 26 games somewhere between Chicago and Los Angeles. It's the
Mets, though, that go to the west coast first, playing the Angels on
April 11. The Braves are the only NL East team not playing an AL team
in April (the Nats won't play one until they hit Houston on April 29}.
Based just on home vs. away games, Washington has the best month,
with 17 of their April games at home.
