With double-headers (like Res suggests) it should not have to be that long.

Starters pitching on more than 7 days rest isn't good. They have been in a routine all year. And batters not hitting for a week? that would suck.
Doubleheader for Games 2 and 3 maybe. For Game 1 and 2 isn't fair. They don't have doubleheaders anymore unless there's rain so to schedule one would be weird.
BTW, they do this in Japan, the league winners get more then a week off while the 2nd and 3rd placed team play a best-of-7.
