Obviously it worked well for us with Detroit and it worked well for SF last year against us. That said, I would much rather be in Texas' position here. I get all the obvious down-side but I really would rather have the opportunity to put major pressure on my opponent. Key is, you MUST win 1 of the first 2.
I love the idea of HFA and would definitely prefer it if offered in a 2/2/1/1/1 format but there is obviously a great deal of travel with that and I get why it isn't used.
Either way, over a 7 game series, regardless of HFA, the best team should win and the best team in this series is Texas.

totally agree on the HFA format.
Another main reason 2-3-2 is important for baseball is the 22111 format would have too many days off. too easy to just throw your best horses out there every game.
