MLB announced its 2010 schedule today, a few weeks earlier than in the past. Obviously there’s still plenty of baseball to be played the rest of the way this year, but it’s never too early to take a look ahead.

The Nationals will get to open at home (April 5 against the Phillies) but after that three-game series immediately hit the road for New York and Philly.
