Just set ASG to second week in July. Make like a 3 day break period. I'll manually move it back.

Would like to start the first monday of April, and would like to see it done in 170 days. Thoughts on this?

Is 152 games in 170 days too generous for a 4 man rotation 152 game season? Would like to hear your opinion.
I should be careful not to sound like an expert on how well the game will handle the way you want to go (i.e., with 4-man rotation). But I think it will be fine because 152 games in 170 days is not much more compact than modern MLB.

The latest collective bargaining in effect the past couple years has 162 games in 186 days. Before that is was 162 games in 182 days, which obviously is very similar to 152 in 172.

What I see piecing together very well is 152 games in 172 days. That would be 48 series per team, at 2 series per week, plus one half week for the mid-season break. So 24.5 weeks times 7 days a week is 171-172 days. I round up foreseeing a 4-game series Mon-Thu to close the season since the season starts on a Monday. Does that sound okay?
