There are 28 Sunday/Monday series opportunities, which result in 21 2-game series and 7 Sat/Sun off days. Keep in mind not every series has to start on Sunday. Only one team is off on Saturday each week, remember. The first weekend is Team 7's Sat/Sun off, and they start on Mon. or Tues.
If one team was off every day, the ratio of games to off days would be 6 to 1, compared to 7.7 to 1 in a real major league schedule. This would leave 174 games and 29 off days, for 203 total days, or 29 weeks, as the schedule calls for.
