Yes. By default once a schedule file is in use OOTP will reuse it in subsequent years but will swap around the teams within the schedule slots to provide different match-ups. That's why you have an early opening series each season, because the schedule file has it.

If you want to keep the same 'balanced' format with 46 interleague games played by each club, the easiest solution would be to import and use the 2023 MLB schedule which used the same format but without the early overseas opening series.
The reason the series slide through the days of the week in subsequent years has to do with a specific setting regarding the starting date and day of the week both in-game and in the schedule file. Try using the 'Force Start on Certain Weekday' option in the schedule options section in the schedule settings. Select 'Thursday' if you are going to use the 2023 MLB schedule (that season opened Thursday, March 30th). This should result in future seasons starting on the first Thursday on or after March 30th. The actual start dates would be:
Thu. Mar. 30, 2023
Thu. Apr. 4, 2024
Thu. Apr. 3, 2025
Thu. Apr. 2, 2026
Thu. Apr. 1, 2027
Thu. Mar. 30, 2028
Thu. Apr. 5, 2029
Thu. Apr. 4, 2030
Thu. Apr. 3, 2031
Thu. Apr. 1, 2032
Thu. Mar. 31, 2033
Thu. Mar. 30, 2034
And so on. The opening date would range from March 30th through April 5th, and would end from October 1st through 7th.
