For some reason now 3 days rest seems to be the standard just like a pitch count.
Some of this may have to do with pitchers being more fragile however I suspect more has to do with protecting million dollar talent.
The Philly’s made a mistake in game 6 by not putting their best on the mound, Pedro did not have the gas
