So I get it as all 1 game series or do you mean games? I'll assume games here to make the schedule easier.

All divisional series and 1 non-divisional series per opponent can be 4 games. (16 total series)
Meanwhile, 2 non-divisional series per opponent and all interleague series can be 2 games. (24 total series)

112 games/6 games per week (the usual for 4-man rotations) does not divide evenly, so the first 4 games should be on the first week of the season in 2-game series, then a layout like this:

2gm 4gm
2gm 4gm
2gm 4gm
2gm 4gm
2gm 2gm 2gm
2gm 4gm

and so on. "2gm" means 2-game series, and "4gm" means 4-game series. There should be 3 weeks of 2-game series in there.

(This schedule can be easily adjusted to begin any day of the week due to the opening week being only 2-game series. Sat, Sun, and Mon starts are a bit tougher though due to the schedule being built for 4-man rotations. Even someone like me can figure this one out easily.)

EDIT: If offdays are staggered, 9 of the 16 interleague series can be put on the weeks of three 2-game series.

EDIT #2: I can easily work this into a schedule file by the end of the week.
