43 33
43 33
43 33
33 43
33 43
33 43
33 33
33 3
33 3
33 3
33 3
3 33
3 33
3 33
3 33
That's 52 series in total, which is exactly the total MLB likes since it splits out into 26/27 weeks nicely. The uneven home-away splits against some opponents can be alternated each year to equalize it over the long term.
Not quite 27 weeks (189 days), but rather 187 days.

im about half way through this one. here is what i'm doing
7 division teams
33 33 6h/6a 84g
8 conference teams
vs. 3 4h 6a 4 33 30g
vs 3 6h 4a 33 4 30g
vs other 2
1 6h 3a 33 3 9g
1 3h 6a 3 33 9g
its a more challenging schedule than I usually create, but its going well. Just a matter of scheduling the remaining games
