At first, I thought this could not be done. But after playing with the matchups, it was working fine.
The matchups are like this: 154 games, 21 games against other teams in the division (4-4-3//4-3-3 or 4-3-3//4-4-3), 8 games against division rivals (4//4) and 3 games against the other league (3// or //3).
Because there are 5 teams per division, intra-division series only don't work. When there are 4-games series, there is at least one extra-division series. When there are 3-games series, there is at least one inter-league series.
The season span over 24 weeks. Season start April 15 or later ending in late September. Season start on a Thursday and end up on a Sunday. Every teams play 22 4-games series and 22 3-games series.
There is an All-Star game in week 13 (day 83). No more than 21 games without a day off. No home stand or road trip longer than 11 games.
I have made 20 schedules to add a bit of variety but if you play season 01 and 02 (they are image of one another) teams will have played the same number of games at home or away against each other. The other 18 schedules are totally random. You have to play the 20 seasons to equilibrate the home and away matchups.
