For some reason I can't see any of the plays. Spreadsheets not working for me. Can someone post plays on here? Also was Washington a play today?

Twins are a play in the W5Fade Dog play, fading KC for the second and last time to break their W streak.WASH was not a play within these systems today but a good pick if you took them!.  If SF continues to trend down to plus money by gametime they could be a play in the L4Dog, opened at -161 and down to -109 currently.
Starting my LABBY play on top VRPI on friday.

Yes, PHI is a play in the L4Dog system.  First one, hopefully it starts out right

Trader,
More times than not I will take the bet which creates more value for me....usually the Dog. That being said there is times where a system bet has the dog and my intuition tells me no f'n way and i take the Fave........thats usually when the DOG wins

Jonny. Yes MIL qualifies for L4. COL qualifies for W5, fading LAD for second and last time. In the W5 we already lost twice fading NYM so we stop fading them today. No VRPI today as LAA won first and have stayed the top VRPI all series.

Hey Jenjay

When I try to update your files, Here's the errors I have in the standings tab. I have explorer 11. Can someone tell how to make it connect to chrome instead??

the spreadsheet does it automatically, but if you wanted to know who the top 5 teams are right now...

ChC, LAD, Det, Stl, KC

Jonny,
the sheet uploads the info from:
https://espn.go.com/mlb/stats/rpi
you can get all the RPI info for each team there

grecycle,
by making Chrome your default browser it should use chrome.  Make sure you have macros enabled within excel.

grecycle,
also make sure you click "enable content" when you open the excel file.....that to may be a reason it is not downloading the info from the website.  I tried to re-create your error using explorer to no avail, seems to work on my side no matter what browser i use.  If you want to see records so far from the links I posted, I update the links with current tracked records 2-3 times a week as I find it useful for me when i travel to be able to have the up to date sheet where ever I am at that given day. Any time you want to see the current records of how i play them anyways (Icy's and RPI/MC1 &2) you can re-download the sheets.

Yes Trader, those 2 games (fade NYM & fade LAD) are not a play although they show in the sheet for W5.  I cant figure out a "formula" solution within excel without updating the game results.  I can do this from covers but the daily update takes a good half hour so I manually keep it in mind that once fading a team 2 consecutive games it is not a play.  I keep trying different solutions and if i come up with one I will update the link.

Cubs have a RPI diff of 156, while Cincy has a RPI diff of 186.  Since Cincy was the top Visitor RPI yesterday and was a play and won, and continue to be the top VRPI today, there is no play.
