Yeah, I think analytics works in the regular season but not really the playoffs.
Sure, you don't want batters seeing a pitcher 2nd or 3rd time through the order, but take that over 7 games, batters are going to see your relievers more and more. Over a series, do you want the opponent to see your starter 6 times or some setup guy 6 times.
