So apparently Astros owner Jim Crane has accepted to move to the AL in 2013, decision pending only on the other owners' approval.

So we will see a whole season inter-league schedule now?
How many more inter-league games would that mean?

It doesn't have to mean any additional games. Most teams play about 15 interleague games per season (usually a few less for the NL Central because of the imbalance in number of teams). If you assume that becomes the standard when there's a uniform number of teams per division, by my math that's 225 interleague games per season.

This is not some silly theory that's unsupported and deserves being mocked by photos of Xena. ![[Image: ITgoyeg.png]](http://i.imgur.com/ITgoyeg.png)
