Not saying I'll knock it out right away but that sounds manageable. Two 2-game series just make a little more work than single 4-game series, but with only 82 games that's less of an issue.
I could use some clarification on a couple little things though to get as close to what you'd like as I can...

I am also fond of having every team play each day

Do you mean when any teams play have all the teams play, and all the teams have the same offdays? If possible, for myself at least, at the end I shift games around so all teams are not either playing or not on all days. I don't mind doing this at all, but if you don't want it, that is a little less work.

but still have 1 or 2 days off each week..

Discounting the All-Star Break, I usually go for an average of about two offdays per three weeks since this is roughly what we see in current MLB schedules. So would you like every, or at least almost every, week to have an offday with maybe half also having another, to get you to more like three offdays per every two weeks? I'm especially thinking with regard to how to layout the in this case numerous 2-game series. I generally only put them either alone the first half of the week, which in this case would allow for two offdays per week by putting the games Tues-Wed and a 3-game series Fri-Sun, or paired up Mon-Tues and Wed-Thurs, which does allow for offdays assuming a 3-game series over the weekend. Would you like 2-game series on weekends?
Just give me as much detail about that stuff as you can or want to. If I decide to work on it in the meantime, I can at least start setting the matchups. Oh yeah, and should I bother putting an All-Star Break, or would you do it at the end if at all? And when would you like the intergames - scattered about, all together mid-season, in little clumps, something else?
