Cleveland Guardians' 2023 Official Regular Season Schedule
The Cleveland Guardians are now less than two months away from Opening Day.
The Guardians will open the season on the road in Seattle, playing a four-game series against the Mariners. They will then travel to Oakland for three games with the Athletics.
The Guardians will play their home opener on Friday, April 7 against the Seattle Mariners. After three games with the Mariners, the New York Yankees will come to town, before the Guardians go on the road once again, visiting Washington D.C. and Detroit for series with the Nationals and Tigers.
For the first time ever, the Guardians will play a series against each of the other 29 Major League Baseball teams. All 30 teams will play a series against each other, for the first time in baseball history. The hope is that it will generate more fan interest, as star players from the opposite league will appear at the city's home ballpark every other year. Guardians fans will get a chance to see Bryce Harper and the 2022 National League champion Philadelphia Phillies, when the Phillies come to town in mid-July.
The schedule change will also provide help to teams that play in hypercompetitive divisions. It will not aid teams like the Guardians, who might be playing in the American League's weakest division, the American League Central, in 2023. The Guardians are favored to win the division. Their odds are listed at plus-145 to win the AL Central according to the Fanduel gambling website. The Minnesota Twins (plus-185) and the Chicago White Sox (plus-255) are much further behind.
The Guardians are coming off a 92-win season in which they won the American League Central with the youngest roster in Major League Baseball. It was their first division title since 2018, but their fourth AL Central championship in seven years. The Guardians hope to defend their throne in 2023, and make a push for their first American League Pennant since 2016.
Here's a look at the Guardians' entire schedule for the 2023 season:
