If you gave me the names of the teams in your configuration and their time zones, it would be easy to set the different teams' home games at different times. The issue with that is that in future seasons if you just let the schedule rollover the game rearranges the matchups so the same teams do not play on the same dates each season.

Suppose you had team #1 in the Eastern time zone and team #4 in the Pacific time zone starting its home games 3 hours after team #1 starts its home games. If those teams got switched in their slots in the schedule for the next season it would be quite odd then to have say LA starting at 7pm ET and NY starting at 10pm ET. That reason plus rarely having any idea of the geography of a league leads me to just set game times all at 7pm (or 1pm for day games) unless it is otherwise specified. But if want the different time zones at least for this season and to worry about later later, just let me know how to specify them.
