It may make sense to you but it is historically inaccurate as far as the PCL is concerned. PCL schedules were, due to the weekly pattern of play it used and the doubleheaders scheduled for holidays, at best only semi-balanced. (Indeed, for numerous years clubs apparently weren't even scheduled to play the same number of games in total, let alone against individual opponents.)
The PCL also changed schedule length on a fairly regular basis. For example:
1930: 201 games
1931: 187 games
1932: 189 games
1933: 187 games
1934: 188 games
1935: 177 games
1936: 176 games
1937-38: 178 games
1939: 176 games
1940: 177 games (though six clubs actually played 178 games)
1941: 176 games
1942: 178 games
1943: 155 games (though two clubs had 157 games on their schedules)
1944: 167 games (though all clubs actually played 169 games)
1945: 183 games
1946: 183 games (though two clubs actually played 186 games)
1947: 186 games
1948: 188 games
1949: 187 games
1950: 200 games
1951: 168 games
1952-53: 180 games
Historically, doubleheaders were played only on Sundays (and holidays). Also, only Mondays were used for travel league-wide.

Not a problem on the return PM.
I'm aware its not accurate historically, but for OOTP, this makes more sense, IMO. I merely made what I'm going to use available.
