Have you ever noticed how some teams play each other annually or frequently, but some teams practically never play each other? Last year was the first time ever that the San Francisco Giants visited Fenway Park. This year was the first time the Atlanta Braves ever played the Los Angeles Angels in Anaheim. Wouldn't it be nice if all teams met pretty frequently? That teams did not have all these "first times" playing in ballparks? I have designed the perfect MLB schedule to fix all of these issues.

My regular season schedule still consists of 162 games. Here are the steps to be made prior to the new schedule:
- Eliminate all the two game and four game series; they are stupid because a winner might not be declared at the end (all regular season series' would be three games).
- The National League has 16 teams, and the American League has only 14 teams. The NL Central has too many teams, 6, and the AL West does not have enough teams, 4. I decided to move the Milwaukee Brewers to the AL West to get even numbers. Not any of the other teams in that division work to move: the Reds and the Pirates are too far east, the Cubs and the Astros cannot be in the same league with their rivalry teams, and the Cardinals are a classic team in the National League.
- Eliminate all the day games during the week. The ballparks do not make much money off them, and we, the viewers, are not able to watch them.

Here is the new schedule, using the Boston Red Sox as an example:
- The Red Sox would play each of the other teams in their division, the Orioles, Rays, Yankees, and Blue Jays, three different series (9 games) at home and on the road, making a total of 18 games per team in their division. Times four teams in their division, that would make 72 of their games playing other teams in their division.
- Boston would play each of the other teams in the other divisions of the league (counting the move of the Cardinals) one series (3 games) at home and on the road, consisting of a total of 6 games for each of the other teams in their league. Times 10 teams, making 60 games played with the teams in their league that are not in their division.
- The 30 left over would be used for interleague play. With the move of the Brewers, there are five teams in each division. The Boston Red Sox would play one division out of the National League every year. They would alternate a division each year, making it where they play each team tri-annually since there are 3 divisions in the NL. Each year, they would play the teams in one of the divisions at home and on the road (3 games series'), consisting of a total of 6 games per team in that division. Times 5 teams in the division, those games would finish out the other 30 games.

72+60+30 = 162 games per year

The down side: Rivalries like the Yankees-Mets and Cubs-White Sox would only be played every three years, but the teams would get to play each other that year at home and on the road.

An Odd Situation: With the pretend move of the Brewers, there would be an odd number of teams in each league, 15. This means that every week there will have to be an interleague series.

Another Thought: I feel the MLB should definitely adopt instant replay. Umpires need it for those tough plays to call. Instant replay is the only fair way to make sure the calls are correct.
