C.C. Sabathia is scheduled to pitch on Tuesday for the Indians. If he wins, that gives him a chance to go for his 20th win on Sunday. But that creates a bit of a problem. If he pitches Sunday, he can't pitch again until Friday, and Friday is an off day in one of the ALDS series. If Cleveland holds on to best record in the AL, it's not a problem. Cleveland takes the extra day off and starts Carmona in game one on six days rest. Then C.C. can pitch game two on Friday and game five if needed on full rest. Or does Cleveland simply skip Sabathia on Sunday and let him open the series on seven days rest? It may come down to how important Sunday is to clinching home field.

Update: Someone in the comments points out that C.C. will start on Friday. That makes sense. Give him the extra rest now, and let him pitch on regular rest for game one.

CC's start has been pushed back to Friday in order to set him up to start Game 1 of the divisional series. No chance at 20 wins for the big guy.
