I have it to set to a 5-man rotation strict with occasionally start highest rested.

The strange thing is, as far as I can tell, the next man in the rotation was fully rested so why put in a RP if they were going to skip him?
I've noticed some weird stuff like this too. Because I don't take over a team, it's harder for me to spot, but it is very strange to see Rollie Fingers or Sean Doolittle make multiple starts in a season. Maybe try switching to "start highest rested" and see what happens. That's what I'm thinking of trying for the coming season in my random debut league.
