There are 5 teams in most divisions, but 4 in AL West and 6 in NL Central. Why doesn't MLB even the leagues?

Do you believe that the Yankees are worth $1 billion?
Such an action would create more problems than it purports to solve.Bud Selig like the national game and he owned the Brewers so he moved them to the N.L. when he became commissioner.
Uh Oh, do I feel four teams going for the AL Central Division?
simply because when they last added teams, 14 in one league and 16 in the other, the diamond backs in the NL and Tampa in AL (with the Brewers moving to the NL) at the time they had just started inter league play but it was a temp thing, if they had 15 teams in both leagues some one would have to be off every day. that means that every team would have to be off at least one weekend (3days) and many would have to be off 2 as there are about 26 weeks in the major league season. and the owners would never do that.when they did this everyone thought that 2 more teams would be added to the AL, but I have not heard of any talks of it in years. and since neither team has been that good (even with AZ winning one) at drawing fans, I don't think it is gonna happen
Oakland/San Fran, 2Chicago, 2 New York, Los Angles/angles(what ever their called now) all the really big markets have 2 teams so I don't think that they get another, Fla has at least one to many for baseball, so either TX maybe Austin or San Antoino, or CA maybe Sacmento or NY state upstate were I don't know are the only places a team could go and I don't see that happening.
Add, for the other guys answer, AZ first owner wanted to be in the NL and TB wanted the AL so he moved the brewers to NL to make even amount of teams in each.
