This is fun! You numbers represent what each team plays, but since each team has to play another team or there is no game, we must divide your number by 2.
I see there are slightly more than 26 weeks in this year's season, hence the difference between 87 and 93 (or thereabouts).

Ok, works for me
I don’t watch/follow sports so I learned something today and that’s a bonus

Add a VPN to your quiver and you’ll be able to avoid the blackouts all season long. My local team (Red Sox) won’t be in contention for anything except last place so I won’t be subscribing to MLB this season or probably any season until ownership sees value in competing to win. Go Angels!
Actually, I have done that. Doesn’t work.
These days I use my VPN for baseball but I can’t mention what for.

Actually, they keep whittling the price down all through the season until it’s about $30-35 near the end of the season.

The hard and fast numbers are there are 30 teams and each plays 162 times. You have to start there and work backwards: there are 2430 matchups per regular season, not 2700.I get approx 112 games per week

There are more than 24 weeks in an MLB season. Also, though off-days are infrequent, not all teams play every day, so a weekly average is closer to the true picture than a daily - if one were scheduling one's time to fit in as many as possible to watch

I knew my rounded numbers would be off. The 2430 games for the 2024 season are spread over 186 days so that works out to 91 games per week on average not counting rain outs, double headers etc.

I get 30*162/2 = 2430 games for the regular season.
Divide by 26 weeks and it's 93.5 games a week.
