Have heard strongest plan is to have #Marlins not play until Monday, give time to regroup and update/prerare roster. The hope would be that with regional games/repeat v. same opponents that they could make up much of the 60-game sked with offday pay and DHs.

#Phillies also may be stopped from playing for a few days but not as long as the #Marlins. Plan would be then for the #Yankees, who were supposed to play at home v. #Phllies Wed/Thurs, to instead play at #Orioles, who were supposed to play Marlins

Essentially MLB would take the #Marlins #Phillies out of play for a few days, and hope that with regional sked they can make up as many of 60 games as possible when cleared to do that.

Heard MLB would like to get 60-game season in for all teams, but not wedded to it. If some teams play 58, 56, 55, etc, winning pct would determine playoff spots.

The precedent for odd numbers/win pct wins is the 1981 split season. For example, in 2d half certain teams in the NL East played 51, 52, 53, 54 games.
