Is fatigue factored differently in playoffs than the regular season ? Is it different between a 5-game and 7-game series ?

Specifically, am I safe in extending the rotation 5-10 pitches each and throw away 'rest' my worst regular season 100-200 innings with enough left over for the remaining pen ?

you're almost certainly safe in resting your worst guys

the only major difference in fatigue is they bump up everyone to 95% of their regular season usage. so if you only used a 100 real life inning pitcher for 60 innings, you'll find him getting tired much more quickly in the playoffs than he did in the regular season.
