I know conventional wisdom is to pitch Scherzer and Strasburg as much as possible, but with Sanchez pitching this well, might an alternative strategy be to go with a four man rotation and use one of the big three out of the pen on their bullpen day?

I like your thinking on the 4 man rotation.  I think that Corbin (despite his previous game 3 dud) could be utilized out of the pen later in the series if needed.   Rainey, Hudson, & Doolittle should be enough if our starters keep bringing it! So the starters can plan for their starts, and we don't have to go into panic mode just yet. Another win tonight will re-enforce this as the best plan.
