How games played in total for each club? In real life the club records were Cincinnati 66-48-1 and Houston 66-49-0. Cincinnati had a game against St. Louis on April 8 end as an 8-8 tie. If that game had been turned into a regular game loss for Cincinnati in the schedule file instead of deleted that would explain why the two clubs have the same record.
The schedule file for this Quickstart is a bit tricky in that it is the as played schedule up to and including Aug. 12th. But that means several postponed games need to be made up after that date (and their make up dates will be guesses since the real season never unfolded after that date). Also, Seattle, due to problems with the Kingdome, had to start playing home games as road games. This would have continued had the season in real life resumed.

In 1994 the home field advantage for the Division Series were assigned as follows:
AL East, AL Central
NL Central, NL West
In the League Championship Series:
AL East (or the team that defeated it, excluding the Wild Card)
NL West (or the team that defeated it, excluding the Wild Card)
In the World Series, the AL would have had the home field advantage. (It was changed from the NL having it to avoid conflicts with the NFL. In compensation, the NL would have had the home field advantage in the 1995 and 1996 World Series.)
Based on the standings at the time of the strike, the Division Series match-ups would have been as follows:
AL: Cleveland vs. New York
AL: Texas vs. Chicago
NL: Atlanta vs. Cincinnati
NL: Montreal vs. Los Angeles
The team listed second in each match-up would have had the home field advantage for the best-of-five series. However, the home field rotation was 2-3, so the team listed first would have hosted the first two games of its Division Series.
