OT: What would you do to increase competitive balance?

I would Personally try to even out the schedule, as much as possible, and have every team face each other.
Schedule with Interleauge: 160 Games
Division: 2 series of 3 Games, 2 series of 2 Games
10 Games vs 4 Teams = 40 Games
Other 2 Divisions: 2 series of 3 Games
6 Games vs 10 Teams = 60 Games
Interleauge: 2 series of 2 Games
4 Games vs 15 Teams = 60 Games
I think this is extremely balanced, while still putting emphasis on division games.
Plus, you get to face every team, and every team gets to visit your ball park.
