From few offdays to many...
That is 22 weeks. Two 3-game series each week would be 132 games. Subtracting 3 games for an All-Star Break (do you want an All-Star Break, and if so, when?) gets it down to 129, then cutting 3 of the series down to 2-gamers gives the 126. That works out perfectly to playing every team in three 3-game series at home and three 3-game series away, except for one team either home or away being played in one 3-game series and three 2-game series. It works out very nicely and elegantly, but being so perfect there would be little variety in the offdays as all teams would be off one day each week on either Monday or Thursday, again except for three weeks when all teams would be off Mon & Thu, one of which would be the first week of the season.
Left on my own I would probably put an All-Star Game at July 1 and set the rest of the schedule up as described above. Does that sound satisfactory? If not, or there is anything else you want to specify, just let me know.
