They play a balanced schedule and they have relegation to keep the games meaningful for the out of contention squads.
The first is do-able albeit more complicated in a much larger country like the US. All of England is about the size of Iowa. Even a "long" trip, say Berwick to Penzance, is much less of a burden than going coat-to-coast. New York to Los Angeles is like going from London to Baghdad (NY to LA is actually slightly longer).
Promotion/relegation will never be approved by MLB owners.
