I think you're counting the same three-hour difference twice. When east coast teams learn about the game, it's still 7:00 AM on the west coast. In other words, the revelation of the game occurs at the same time for east coast and west coast teams. The only difference occurs at the shipping deadline, where there is a three-hour difference. This means that there is a three-hour advantage, not a six-hour advantage.
