Not to imply I notice everything, but this is the first instance here I have seen with someone using an LLM for schedule work.

Since there is a simple structure and precise, consistent pattern to the games it is relatively easy to lay out.

I did not pore through the attachment, but it seems fine as a start. The home/away is not specified, or if you read it as such the home/away is not well dispersed. Also there are extra days around the All-Star Game. But I think there are a complete set of matchups in each half.

The catch here is the playoff start. Subtracting the few extra days the attachment has around the All-Star Game, the season ends Sep18. AFAIK the game always has one offday after the regular season end (including any tiebreakers). So the playoffs here could be expect to begin Sep20. I do not think there is a consistent way to change that. Postseason games cannot be set properly in the schedule, and in editing after the fact I have sometimes been able to change something but have also broken the playoffs in doing so. It could be something on which to experiment with a dummy test league.
