I think so. If you're aggressive with your bullpen or certain strategies you can take advantage. I rarely see the AI go 3 innings with a low stam RP, but if it's a tie game in the 8th inning and I have an elite RP, I'll throw him out there for 3 innings if the pitch count is low. Sometimes the AI will pull a 10 stam RP (1-100 ratings) after 2 innings regardless of pitch count, whereas if I see my CL has thrown 22 pitches, that he's not tired he can go for a third. So if it's extra innings that's a big advantage, because you never know how long it'll go, so having a guy go that extra inning when he's not tired can make a huge difference.
It's definitely helped me, whether it's aggressive bullpen use, pinch hitting/running, or double switches (even in the AL). Sometimes I wonder what the AI is thinking with game management.
