I've had this issue as well. Late in a season I wanted to skip my #5 starter to line up my #1 for game one of the playoffs. I went to a 4-man, stuck #5 in the bullpen, and he was immediately given a spot start for the game I wanted to skip him.
I also constantly see it in tournaments. Any team running a 4-man rotation winds up throwing bullpen games.
It seems that the engine is *very* aggressively avoiding pitching starters who aren't 100% rested, even if you're specifically telling it that's what you want to happen.
