Side note: There is no plausible reason to have an off day between games four and five (they do the same in the ALCS). You are trying to find the best baseball team, and the fourth starter counts. Making the manager decide to go to a three-man rotation without the extra off day means playing four straight games with the pitcher throwing on three-days rest. That’s a big deal. That’s strategy, and that should be a factor. So we hate the extra off day.

Take it to the extreme. Just play one game every five days so you only have to use one starting pitcher. That’s absurd too, this in the other direction, in our opinion.

Not to mention it ruins the momentum of the series from a fan standpoint.
