What in the who now?

Can anyone explain the MLB schedule to me? The Red Sox and Yankees have just completed two games each against the Indians and Rays respectively. Starting tonight they will play a two game series against each other. Back to back two games series? What's next, a different team every night?

The Red Sox will not travel back to Cleveland for the rest of the season. Of course, they will play the Yankees about 50 more times. Interdivisional rivals should play each other more than they play other teams on the schedule. That makes sense, but the scheduling right now is far too unbalanced. How about this; the Yanks and Sox play each other 133 times each season. That way they will only have to deal with playing other MLB teams once a piece.
