I don't get the set up of the lesser side (record wise) getting 2 home matches to start a series. I'd give advantage to better record and play first three there to start.

It is going to be 2-2-1 in the future.  They could not get the schedule worked out to fit in an extra day of travel this year, but they still wanted the extra wild card.  We ended up with this goofy compromise.
