Can you be sure a 3-6-1 DP isn't in the game? On balls to the first baseman, the PBP does not usually say who receives the return throw to first. I wonder if maybe it is the pitcher taking the throw (at least some of the time).

Actually, the PbP
never tells you who's covering first on a 3-6-X double play. Not that it would necessarily matter...
On a bunt, if there's a high/low throw, the PbP says something like:
Secondbaseman is covering first...
high throw!...
Firstbaseman leaps...
he has it!
Firstbaseman steps on the base...
and Batter is retired.
Whether this is just a PbP glitch, or the game is using the 1B's ratings on high/low throws off of bunts (or even whether the "receiver's" fielding has an impact on the outcome of high/low throws), I don't know.
