Working on a project and one thing I have to hammer out is what would the divisiona alignment be in MLB if they used 2 divisions per league instead of 3 like today?

This is what I've come up with:

AL East (7 teams)
- Baltimore
- Boston
- Cleveland
- Detroit
- New York
- Toronto
- Tampa Bay

AL West (8 teams)
- Chicago
- Houston
- Kansas City
- Los Angeles
- Minnesota
- Oakland
- Seattle
- Texas

NL East (8 teams)
- Chicago
- Cincinnati
- Miami
- New York
- Phildelphia
- Pittsburgh
- St. Louis
- Washington

NL West (7 teams)
- Atlanta
- Arizona
- Colorado
- Los Angeles
- Milwaukee
- San Diego
- San Francisco

The National League is the trickiest for me. Back in the two division days, Atlanta was in the NL West. I think there was a similar issue with the Falcons in the NFL.

Would it make more sense to put the Cardinals in the West and swap with the Cubs?
