Each Major League team plays 162 games. There are 30 MLB teams and each game involves two teams which gives us: MLB Games = 162 * 30 = 4,860 Games There is no reason to divide games by 2 as a game is defined as played by 2 teams. Each MLB team plays 162 games. In an actual season this will vary as some games are rained out and never rescheduled while on occasion an extra game is played to settle a tie (last year San Diego & Colorado each played 163 games due to tieing for the NL Wildcard after 162 games). In 2007 due to the one extra game to settle the NL Wildcard, 2,431 Regular Season Games were played in Major League Baseball.
