When did the number of baseball games in a season change?
Prior to 1961, teams in the American League played 154 game seasons.

Prior to 1962, teams in the National League played 154 game schedules. When two new expansion teams were added, the Houston Colt 45s and the New York Mets, the schedule was increased to 162 games.
Why did they go to 162 games in Major League Baseball?
Both the American League and National League went to a 162 game schedule from a 154 game schedule when they expanded from 8 teams to 10 teams (AL in 1961, NL in 1962). This was done so each team could play the other 9 teams the same number of games. When the AL and NL were 8 team leagues, the teams played 22 games against each other in a season (154 divided by 7 equals 22). By adding 2 teams, if the AL and NL played 154 games in a season, there would be teams playing more games against one team than another team (154 divided by 9 equals 17.111). Going to a 162 game schedule meant the teams could play each other 18 times in a season (162 divided by 9 equals 18).
