If Felix were to pitch Saturday, every 5th day thereafter(no offdays on that schedule) he'd be on schedule to pitch the 29th of September, the day after their last scheduled game. Oh, hey. .. Look who's scheduled to pitch Saturday.
On that schedule he would pitch in both Texas series remaining, the Oakland series at Safeco but not in Oakland and miss the 4 gamer in Anaheim as well as the season closing homestand vs the Angels. He would get a start in the Toronto series before that as well as the Indians and White Sox series' along the way. The only other team with reasonable WC probability that he'd miss is Detroit who's probably going to keep their division lead anyway. With a little tweaking he could make all the A's and Angels series if needed, but if he pitches in the 3 game series vs LAAoA at the end it'd take short rest for him to do the WC game. Hopefully things are fairly decided before that series. But if you presume that the Angels and Mariners meet in the WC game, how much nastier is Felix if they haven't seen him since this Saturday?
