Not really, no.  In the first link, Mike explains how it works:

"mythfilldatabase makes 2 separate requests--one to get each of today and +13."

So when the update runs, it re-loads today's schedule, and also gets
one day 13 days in the future.  With the default setting, I would
expect tomorrow's match to not have the correct teams listed, but
today's match should have been updated to the correct listing.
