Schedule request MLB with longer ASG break

[Paul Reuschel's Mustache]

Schedule request for current 30-team MLB configuration.

162 games
2S / 3D / 5T
Season starts on April 1st
Interleague games (vs. 10 opponents / 3-game series home/away)

All-Star game break around game 81
3 day break between last game and ASG and 3 day break after ASG and resumption of regular games

I'd really love to have a one week break for the ASG. Thank you!

Could you please clarify on the interleague games? I interpret what you say as 6 games (3 home & 3 away) against 10 of the possible 15 interleague opponents (with zero against the other 5), for 60 total interleague games. Is that right?

In that case the remaining games could break down to 10 games against each of the 4 division opponents plus 6 games (except two cases of 7) against each of the other 10 league opponents.

Thank you for the response, gmo.

My mistake on the interleague games.

Ideally, each team plays two three-game series against five random interleague teams, once at home, and once on the road. We would then have 30 interleague games per team per year.

And the requested longer ASG break would be great.

Sorry about that and thanks again!

Thanks for clarifying. Then the question becomes how to allocate the intraleague games. Sketching out the big picture, though not going into the details, I think there is a range of options. What do you prefer?

• Highly unbalanced: 18 games per division opponent, 6 per opponent in other divisions.
• Nearly balanced: 10-11 games per division opponent, 9 per opponent in other divisions.
• In-between: 13-15 games per division opponent, 6-9 per opponent in other divisions.

May be a bit before I can get back around, but choosing one of those would give a target,

I'd prefer the nearly balanced option.

And again, thank you very much!
