The way I see it, doubleheaders only represent movement between those that caught it versus those that didn't.
Otherwise, everyone playing the same DH strategy won't see movement in closing any point gaps.
Not necessarily true.
There was a DH the first half; don't remember which one, but if you like I'll look it up, where I took, I believe, the Pittsburgh PS, and everyone else (at least those of us in the "Doubleheader Division) went the other way, and I racked up.
The last two DHs, Cubs at home, Braves at home, were pretty obvious PS choices, but that won't always be the case.
