Yes, the only thing that changed was the matchups. Divisions all are the same as formats 5-5-6/5-6-5 AL/NL

How this was set up: League matchups are the same. Interleague: 24 games a season = 8 3-game series. Leagues have 16 teams. I created it so that all teams play half of the teams in the other league 4*3 home 4*3 away. So s1 has 8 opponents, either home or away. s2 flips the interleague so after 2 seasons each league plays 8 teams 3h/3a. s3 and s4 work the same way but the leagues play the 8 teams they did not face in s1 and s2. After 4 seasons each league would have played ALL 16 opponents 3h/3a.

If I went by divisions it would only require 3 schedules, but because of the divisions not having equal teams you would only have played against about 75% of the total number of teams in the opposite league. So seeing that you play 3/4 of the teams in 3 seasons, basic math told me that I would get 4/4 in 4. This schedule works out better than the original because you now play different matchups. Thinking about it you could play the schedules 1a,2a,1b,2b so that every 2 years you have played every team 8 teams home/8 teams away. The "b" versions just give you a home and an away against all of the teams.
