It isn't rocket science.
If there's an opportunity for a check-swing appeal then the batter could not possibly have been called out on a strikeout. The defense has a choice as to whether or not to appeal the check-swing. SO, as a matter of tactics: If you want the batter to lead off the next inning you do NOT appeal. He thus cannot be out as he hasn't completed his AB so he leads off next inning. If you do not want the batter to lead off the next inning you DO appeal. He thus MAY be out (if the call is changed to strike) and if so he has completed his AB so he does not lead off next inning.
