Sports Fanatics: Can the Washington Nationals start Strasburg in the playoffs?

I mean, wouldn’t you? I’m a firm believer in pitching wins championships. I feel so bad for Strasburg. I’m from San Diego and our paper the Union Tribune always had stories of him when he was playing for SDSU Aztecs. This guy is a gamer, wouldn’t you start him in the playoffs?! I mean he’s had like a months rest. Is he even elegible?
