For me, I’m going with Giolito, Keuchel, & Dunning in games 1 through 3 respectively in both the Wild Card & Divisional rounds (the three days off between the series allows for this).  Game 4 of the DS would be Cease by default if needed.  No idea what you do if there is a game 5.  Do you go with Giolito on short rest but then limit his availability in a potential ALCS that has no off days?  I don’t see how you can possibly run out Lopez or Stiever in a do or die game.  To me, that ALCS series is where the real trap exists for teams like us that lack quality depth in their rotation.

No fucking clue.  Honestly that’s good for the Sox, but sucks as a fan as it means no baseball on the actual weekend.

Just weird that none of the other rounds have breaks like that. Maybe to reset rotations? Weird in any event.
