HI!
So, I'm thinking of expanding my iteration of MLB going into the late 2030s to 34. Already expanded in 2025 to 32. I like having the unbalanced schedules but can't find a schedule already created on the forums, and I'm a bit of a dummy to try and make my own.
My thinking is:
- 17 AL, 17 NL (6-5-6; 6-5-6; but division distribution may change and I would prefer it not matter as much whether the central or the west has more teams hahaha).
- 162 games, that'll never change.
- Season starts on the first Friday on or after March 25th (I like having a bit of late March baseball).
- Would like as close to having no homestands/road-trips longer than 13-14 games (this isn't set in stone; very flexible, just don't want too many series bunched up at home/away from home).
- Don't care about day vs night games.
- All-Star game as close to July 4 (or whenever the half-way mark of the season is, whichever is later).
- At least two games against each team in MLB (IF POSSIBLE, otherwise, 75% is fine).
- Would prefer the MLB season end October 31 at the latest.
- No rush, I'm not gonna expand until I have a schedule figured out!
Thanks y'all!
