I've got this schedule done, but only in my testing did I realize that I forgot to leave three days for the All-Star break. I'll edit it in to this post after I fix that.
EDIT: Here you go.
162-game schedule:
Subleague 1:
Two divisions of six teams each
18 games against two division opponents (9H/9A), and 17 against the other three (9H/8A or 8H/9A; same for all three). Total of either 45H/42A or 42H/45A.
9 games against each team in the other division (6H/3A or 3H/6A, total of 27H/27A)
3 games against each team from one interleague division (3H or 3A; total of 9H/12A or 12H/9A).
Subleague 2:
Two divisions of seven teams each
17 games against each division opponents (9H/8A or 8H/9A; total of 51H/51A).
6 games against each team in the other division (3H/3A; total of 21H/21A).
3 games against each team from one interleague division (3H or 3A; total of 9H/9A).
All interleague games are played in a five-week stretch that roughly makes up the month of June.
Season should begin on a Monday and end on a Wednesday. Most Thursdays will be off-days, but there will be a few Mondays and occasional Sundays off in the 14-team subleague - those will arise from having to plant 2-game series into the schedule.
I didn't set a start date, but the last Monday of March seems to work well with this one.
The only downside (and one I wish I would have spotted earlier) - there are a few instances of teams playing each other two series in a row, one in each city. I ran into some problems while assigning home/road games and had to switch some matchups on the fly, so I missed a couple of those. Notably, two pairs of teams play twice to begin the season (9&10, 24&26). I hope that's not a dealbreaker - it's not ideal.
