That last is going to give you some problems because you have 15 opponents in the other league. That's 45 games, split either 24-21 home-away or 21-24 home away. So from interleague play a club is going to have a surplus or deficit of 3 home games, and you'd have to account for that in league games.

The alternative is to have one interleague opponent played 4 or 6 times instead of 3—those can be split equally as 2-2 or 3-3 home-away, and as a result you won't have to have a surplus or deficit of 3 home games in your assortment of league games.
