Fairly annoying because of the math not working out, but technically possible.

Assuming an 185-day/52-series schedule (182-day/51-series is impossible, odd number of teams!) then each team plays 72 divisional games split into 22 series, which means each team plays six 4-game series within the division - or rather, each team plays six more 4-game series than they play 2-game series, but this is modern MLB so we don't have to worry about that.

Each team plays 8-10H/8-10A against their division and 3H/3A against all other teams they play. 9H/9A divisional is impossible for two opponents per team because you can't play 9 games including a 4-game series without also including a 2-game series, and that ruins the "MLB dates" portion of the request. Squeeze weeks are impossible here because of the odd-number problem.

As always, I'll defer to Hip on the actual schedule-making. I have one schedule taking up far too much of my time, and can't afford to make another.
