At least someone other than me went down that rabbit hole of combing through the schedule game-by-game. It’s weird to have a game that won’t count for tiebreaker purposes as late as March 30. Another good way to look at the tiebreaker scenarios is that all the in-division tiebreakers are 4 game sets, while ALL the non-division tiebreakers are home and away series, at their core.
