I join you in thinking that’s a numb-skull move. The home field advantage should be reversed each year.
What happens when either league dominates for five or ten years? Should all series then see that league’s team be the home team? That’s knuckle dragging stupid.
best overall record = home field. IMHO. makes the regular season actually mean something and managers wont sit their best players with a week left in the season even though people are paying to see the players play.
