If one team was off every day, the ratio of games to off days would be 6 to 1, compared to 7.7 to 1 in a real major league schedule. This would leave 174 games and 29 off days, for 203 total days, or 29 weeks, as the schedule calls for.

That description with 203 days implies not having multiple teams off on individual days as opposed to the example above.
What I can do is make all 3 game series, begin March 30, and start a new series on each day. That gives 180 games per team, 212 total days, 5 teams off on first and last days, 3 teams off on second and next-to-last days. Obviously 21 games can be spliced out to get down to 174 games per team, but not all of those would be making 2-game series that start Sundays.
I do not think I can do better than that because I do think the pieces can all fit together as you are describing.
