Baltimore lost while Houston is leading its series; the Dodgers are on the verge of elimination while the Phillies are tied in their series. So it looks likely we may see another split, that is, the rested team will win two of the four series, which would put the overall rate at 50% of the series going to the rested team.
If the days off were a benefit, I would expect more than a coin toss result in favor of the rested teams. But I am not a statistician,
