ALCS Schedule

I just noticed that the schedule for the ALCS has the potential for 5 games in a row! Only one day off for a 7 game series? What is with this postseason schedule? I know they said it was the late start to the season but we were scheduled two days off in the Division Series. Thankfully we have time to rest our pitchers after that 18 inning game and Cleveland/New York is still wasting theirs before this marathon of a series.
