Say you were the GM or a player on a baseball team. Your next 3 series are all 3 games/days long, but you start on the road, go home, and then leave again. You get one off-day in that period. Would you prefer it between the first 2 series or between the last 2 and why?

I'm thinking I'd rather fly home late after the last game of the first series, take a nap at home, and then play at home. Then before the third series we can take our time getting there and have a full sleep at the hotel. At home everything is more known so it should be easier being crunched for time.

Or am I missing something? Teams don't normally fly to a city the morning of an away game to save on hotel costs do they?

I know, I know, whether the last game of the series is an afternoon game might influence your decision, but let's say all the game times are the same, at night.
