I'm all for petty rivalries and screw the other guy.
But if Atlanta wins game 1 they're not going to pitch presumptive Cy Young winner Chris Sale in a meaningless game tomorrow, they'll save him for game 1 of the playoffs the very next day.
I think similar logic will apply for position players - better for the stars to not play a double-header, fly, then play game 1.
