Yeah Brent got this one right. If you have 15 teams in each league, then either one team doesn't play every day or there's always an interleague matchup going on, and you can't do that because it would screw up the entire schedule. If the AL added two teams, that would solve the problem, but where would you put them? As it is, not enough teams have good starting pitchers; adding two more teams to the fray would make team's rosters even thinner for pitching. The only real way to fix the problem would be to get rid of two teams. Okay, so who? The Expos were a good solution but they're just rebuilding a fan base and are spending money on a stadium, you can't kill that team. The Marlins have won two World Series titles in 10 years, so scrap that plan. The Twins were always a popular pick but now they're contending for a playoff spot.
By the way, just to correct your original question, both wests do not have four and both centrals do not have six. The AL West has four teams, but the AL Central has five (14 total in the AL). In the NL, the West has five and the Central has six (16 total in the NL).
AL West - Oakland, Anaheim, Texas, Seattle
AL Central - Detroit, Chicago, Cleveland, Minnesota, Kansas City
NL West - San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Colorado, Arizona.
NL Central - St. Louis, Chicago, Houston, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Milwaukee.

They Should get rid of a few teams, and actually have all good ball players instead of these scrubs that are in the league now. No offense to some teams but seriously it is unfortunate that Arizona and Florida bought championships. They both should be gone. Tampa Bay and Colorado should be the next to go. Move Milwaukee back to the American League where it belongs. Then make a rule for the DL in both leagues. Now realigning the divisions is not too simple. But possible.
AL East
Baltimore
Boston
Cleveland
New York
Toronto
AL Central
Chicago
Detroit
Kansas City
Milwaukee
Minnesota
AL West
Los Angeles
Oakland
Seattle
Texas
NL East
Atlanta
New York
Philadelphia
Washington
NL Central
Chicago
Cincinnati
Pittsburgh
St. Louis
NL West
Houston
Los Angeles
San Diego
San Francisco

They should but they can't with the current scheduling format. Creating an odd number of teams in each league would make there always be an interleague series going on. It wouldnt be bad just a headache for MLB schedulers. Or another solution would be to add two teams and have four divisions in each league and go to an NFL sytle playoff series.

Move Florida to San Antonio, and put them in the American League West. Move Pittsburg to National League East. Simple.

First, MLB has to make things fair by adding two AL teams OR eliminate two NL teams! Bring balance back to the FORCE!!!!

notice something national league has 2 more teams but same number of playoff seeds this is so unfair
but if they evened them one team would have a series off because there are an odd number which would need more interleague series
they are fine
