Hey guys, here's my first attempt at a schedule.

It's for a 40-team league, with 4 divisions of ten teams each split in two leagues. I'm all for an unbalanced schedule, and trust me, this provides it.

Each team plays their divisional foes 12 times each, for 108 of their 162 games. To win your division, you have to win your division. They play 4 games against 5 of their interdivisional opponents, and 6 against the other 5 interdivisional opponents. (Those are each split into a home and home series, so 2 2-game series and 2 3-game series.) They also play 4 games against one interleague team, split into two 2-game series surrounding the All-Star break.

I'm also all for a certain kind of symmetry, so you start off playing each of your nine divisional foes. Then you play each interdivisional series. Then you play your division series again. Then two interleague games. Then the All-Star game, then it's reversed. Because I was new to this, and the mix of 2 and 3 game series for the interdivisional series, there are some scheduling quirks. At some points in the season, there are weeks with lots of off days (though never more than one in a row), and times with lots of consecutive games (I think there are 27 at the most, so that doesn't follow traditional MLB rules). There are also lots of long home stands and road trips. I may be adjusting this in the future to eliminate those kinds of problems.

As it is, the season is scheduled to start on April 5, and the All-Star game is set for July 5.

Hope this helps somebody!

PS If you have any questions, and I don't respond in this thread, shoot me a PM. I don't venture down here too often.

EDIT: Also wanted to mention every team plays 81 home and 81 road games, with an equal number of each against every team they play. Like I said, I like symmetry.
