That is the record of the team in interleague games.
Yes. All regular season games count towards standings, no matter who the opponent is.
Past 10 games
Regular season baseball games between the American League and National League are called interleague games. The first interleague games occurred in 1998 and have been a staple of the MLB schedule since. In 2013 the leagues were balanced to have 15 teams each (the Houston Astros switched from the National League to the American League) which necessitated interleague games throughout the season. Before 2013 interleague games typically happened in concentrated pockets during June and July.
No. Only regular season games are included in the standings. Exhibition games are not. Playoff games have their own standings.
Every American League team is scheduled to play 18 interleague games. Since there are two more National League teams than American League teams, during interleague play, 2 NL teams must play each other. 18 interleague games means 6 series. So, 12 teams from the NL will play another team from the NL for 1 series out of the 6 that are played. With 16 teams in the NL, 4 will play all 6 series. So, to answer your question, every AL team and 4 NL teams are scheduled to play 18 interleague games, and the remaining 12 NL teams are scheduled to play 15 interleague games.
yes, they affect your record and therefore affect overall standings.
Since interleague play began in 1997, the St. Louis Cardinals and the Chicago White Sox have played 18 times. The Cardinals have won 10 of the games.
England has placed in the top two leading up to the 1994 Commonwealth Games. At the conclusion of the Victoria Games they finished third in the medal standings.
No. The preseason in MLB is known as Spring Training, and the results of those games don't have any effect on regular season records.
No, the Commonwealth Games does not keep a points system for the medal tally, they instead count the medals won by each country and add them up in the standings. The medal tally counts who has the most gold medals and so on.
