Stickware Scheduler...

I'm experimenting with the new Scheduler....I was trying for a balanced schedule, no interleague play, and have moved Montreal to Washington (NL East); Tampa became Carolina (AL East); and Pit moved to the NL East where they damn well belong...I generate a schedule, but it seems that I sometimes only get to play one team in my division 9 times, and far more games (15 or 16) with teams in other divisions... and within my division the number of games varies between say 48 to 58....any suggestions how to even this out to keeping it balanced so I play my own division at least 11 or 12 times...as well for other divisions...

Change the seed value and keep playing around with it...

You will likely never come up with the exact setup you want, to do that you likely will have to design it by hand (with enough planning its not that bad a task) as this scheduler will typically not come up with the "perfect" schedule you seek (doing this isn't as easy as you'd think for a computer program governed by equations and comparisons; especially if you want to have enough flexibility for many league styles).
