While official announcements of the following season's schedule usually come out around September 20 of each year there was a post on a Phillies website that indicates that a few details of the 2013 schedule have already been leaked.
What I got from the post was:
A single Sunday Night game for ESPN - TV (teams yet to be determined - they will move one of the games scheduled for Monday or Tuesday to Sunday) for Sunday Night, March 31 will open the season.
Openers of the other 28 teams will be split between April 1 & 2.
Phillies season opener is at Atlanta on Tues. 4/2.
Phillies Home opener Vs. Kansas City will be on Friday April 5. (Yes the era of two 15 team leagues wih daily interleague play has truly arrived).
All MLB teams play season finales on Sunday, Sept. 29. (They've gone back to the traditional schedule of the season ending on a Sunday rather than at mid-week). Sept. 29 would be a relatively early end date of the regular season and that indicates that even if the World Series went to a Game 7, The WS should be over by Oct 27 to Oct 29 and not stretch into the colder weather of November.
Can anybody confirm this information?
