there's forty teams in the league, 20 in each conference with ten in each division. i'd like to have it so that each team has a home and away series against each of the other 19 teams in their conference, minimum of three game series.
interleague play is not needed.
woudl this be possible, or is more info needed

May 1 to Sept 1 is only about 120 days to begin with, so travel is going to be pretty tight. I can see making it with nothing but 3-game series each week, thus each team would have exactly one offday each week, and that would probably fit pretty close to exactly in May 1 to Sept 15.
If every team played the 19 league opponents one series home and one away, that would add up to 114 games. That could be stretched out to exactly 120 (I think) by making a few 4-game series, and then in the end the offdays would be about as frequent as current MLB. Adding many offdays would make the schedule longer than it sounds like you want and would probably play havoc with the scheme I use to layout series two per week. Is that acceptable?
No All-Star Break?
The end result would be similar to (just shorter than) this 40-team, 152-game schedule:

That one is about 30 more games than you want since there are 8 games per opponent rather than 6-7. Figured you saw that, but just in case...
Your request, if you are happy with what I am envisioning, does not sound too tough.
