From a historical point of view, one should also remember that prior to around 1960, there were NO off days for travel in the World Series if the cities were close enough together.
Thus, for example, the 1956 WS between the New York Yankees and Brooklyn Dodgers was played on consecutive days, with NO off days. Using even the 1-2-3-1-2-3-1 rotation in this case would mean the starter for game 4 would be starting on two days rest.
Granted, few people use historically accurate postseason scheduling, but even so, it is another factor to be considered.
Perhaps an entirely new way for the AI to determine its postseason pitching rotation, factoring in the number of days of rest that the scheduled starter has had, is in order...
