this will likely create a competitive advantage over the course of a 162 game season.

Not sure what you mean by this. None of the 30 teams allowed SP to go through the lineup a third time with any regularity!
There seems to be no correlation between SP usage and success in the regular season. By simple observation KC played better than anyone in the playoffs. Their bullpen was great but they played better in every area than any other team.
If you want the data I can post it. Don't want to go OT but do want to explode myths.
