Even if I lose my bet, I will still be happy because I rather see Oswalt fully rested for game 3 of NLDS. So if he has 4 days rest between his sunday start and a game 3 of NLDS start, then keeping him to at most, 5 innings or a pitch count for sunday is the smart thing to do, and that is certainly fine by me.


Keep in mind Game 3 of the NLDS is 6 days after the Astros regular season finale this Sunday. Roy O will need some work to stay fresh.
