I don’t really see another way to do it. They essentially gave first round “slots” in the day, as once you commit to the Yankees getting a night game in game one, it’s less fair to flip them around for a 1pm start the following day. What happens if game one goes 14 innings? That’s a rough spot to be in for both teams. Besides, it only impacts the next three days. After that, games will likely start in the late afternoon then continue into the evening as the field narrows.
