I have a different, but similar, idea.
64 teams
2 subleagues
8 divisions of 4 teams each in each subleague
Each team plays 10 games against each division rival (30 total)
3 games against each nondivision team in the same subleague (84 total)
2 games against 3 interleague opponents from each division (48 total)
Total: 162 games. Still no off days, but the season now runs 142 days starting in mid March, then the schedule's only off day, then the All-Star Game, and then the playoffs.
