For me in a five game series, Woodruff and Burnes would pitch twice. Whoever pitches Game 1 would be the only one to pitch on 3 days rest for Game 4. Also, if we win the division, we have another FOUR days before the NLDS Game 1 even begins so there is a bunch of extra rest there too. Whoever pitches Game 2 would get four days before Game 5, or for most staffs, regular rest. A major part of all this rest is that we are giving pitchers extra days so they are fresh come playoff time. The playoffs are not a time to be thinking about extra rest for starters here or there a day. They had it. Now it is time to play, and play our best the most often.
