Default Theoretical Baseball Reallignment and Expansion

Remember a few years back, MLB was looking at possibly doing another configuration?
I just made up a decent one, IMO that makes more geological sense.
Here it is:

American League -

North East -
NY Yankees
NY Mets
Boston
Toronto
DC
Baltimore

South -
Texas
Houston
Atlanta
Florida
Tampa Bay

Northwest -
Seattle
San Francisco
Oakland
Colorado

National League -

Midwest -
Chicago Cubs
Chicago White Sox
Milwaukee
Minnesota
St. Louis
Kansas City

East Central -
Detroit
Cleveland
Cincinatti
Pittsburgh
Philadelphia

Southwest -
Los Angeles Angels
Los Angeles Dodgers
San Diego
Arizona

In addition, for Interleague games, I would play two different teams from each division, once at home and once away each year.

The DH rule would be done away with completely.

Lastly, up the Wild card picture to include 6 teams per league.
Like NFL, top two would have BYEs -
Each division winner would get one spot - the remaining three would be based on overall best record after that.

Thoughts?

or you can do like football and have two division AL vs NL or East vs South or even North vs South
