On booking LGB-SJC (departing July 1 at 2:50 pm) I noticed that, in the main cabin, just about 4 middle seats were available. No windows or aisles. On the other hand, plenty of Even More Space seats open (I want to say only 3 or so were selected). Upgrade ran $18-22.
I opted to not select a seat assignment thinking perhaps, by chance, I'd be placed into an EMS seat at no charge. I made this choice due to the complete lack of windows or aisles (figuring, hey, if I just get placed into one of those 4 middle seats in the main cabin, I'm back where I started and that's just fine).
My question is, any chance I get placed into an extra legroom seat at no charge? Or am I missing something?

Not likely. An upgrade to EMS, where you are likely to not be stuffed into a middle seat for $18-$22 is a no brainer for me. I'm Mosaic, but happy to pay for an EMS upgrade almost every time.
