I think the math must be 164 games ?

16 games indiv (*4) = 64
8 games in both div in league (x5 x2) = 80
4 games against 1 div interleague. (x5) 20

If the divisions were U S and A. I'd need 1 schedule for UU, one for US and one for UA to be played every three years.
I will have to run the numbers on this. The odd number of teams per league necessitates at least one interleague series at all time, which is a significant complication. Then adding to that having an odd number of teams in each division means their must be interdivision games within each league all the time also. At least it appears you have a layout that would take all 4-game series, which would not be the prettiest but may make it manageable.

Have you checked out this set of schedules? It is not exactly what you what, but it may be the best option.

But I'd like 6 games vs 1 interleague div instead of 3 vs all interleague teams if possible ???
This schedule would of course need a "mate" to alternate years.
How many total games - 162? How many (at least roughly) within the division and within the league outside the division?

For both cases do you want otherwise MLB-style start & end dates (beginning of April to beginning of October) plus an All-Star game in early/mid-July?
