Nationals' Playoff rotation?

Brad Penner-USA TODAY Sports

I guess it's a blessing and a curse to clinch so early. Great they clinched, but there's still a week and a half left of baseball to get through. Another note is that the first game looks to be October 3 which means that everyone will be pitching with at least 6 days off unless Williams messes around and starts changing the playoff rotation. There's a double header on the 26th, and I've currently got Strasburg and Roark pitching those games, which would mean that's their last regular season appearance.

Presumably Strasburg pitches Game 1 on 6 days rest, Zimmerman pitches on 8 days rest, and Fister pitches on a week's rest. It'll be interesting to see if the off days play a factor.

Also I definitely think Gio should be moved to the bullpen. He's so inconsistent that you just can't risk him having one of those games where he's thrown 80 pitches through 4.
