So I was using the "finish day" option to sim the last three days of the regular season after my team had clinched the division. On the first day the #2 pitcher in the rotation was slated to start. For some reason the AI chose a starter lower in the order who also was rested. On day two, the #2 guy in the rotation was still listed as the "probable" starter but when I simmed the day, the AI chose a different starter who was being forced to pitch on 4 days rest. Simming the last day of the regular season resulted in the same way with the AI again choosing a different starter that was being forced to start on four days rest. Is there some kind of coding going on here where the AI is trying not to use the best starters at the end of the season if the division is clinched? Is this causing it to use other starters on short rest instead of the scheduled starter?
