Except that for much of baseball perfectly equal numbers of home and away games is not realistic. (That's one of the unique things about baseball as a sport, teams sometimes don't have the same numbers of games played, or the same number of home and away games, due to postponements. OOTP at present still does not recreate this key aspect of the sport.)

Yes, the "home team bats first" rule that MLB implemented in 2007 for certain make up games. The issues for OOTP in regards to it are: (1) the rule started in 2007, so it should not be used in years prior to that; (2) using your example, MLB counts the game as a home game for the Cubs since it is played in their park even though the club bats first. The attendance for the game is credited to the Cubs, since the game took place in their park.
