Among those new ideas was the creation of several two-game weekend series with Friday off-days, a marked departure from the typical schedule. Clubs including the As, Angels, Rays, Reds and White Sox opted for those, typically with a goal of showcasing key interleague matchups.

MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred said in June that such sets were being considered. The thinking is that by funneling fan interest to those key dates on the weekend when attendance is already stronger, it could more than make up for the loss of weaker Friday dates.


so apparently the teams themselves chose to eliminate a few friday games to boost attendance. mostly small markets with poor fanbases.
