Don't use the RPI for playoff games. As pointed out this system only works in regular season.
Take the July 23 - PHILADELPHIA vs SAN DIEGO
PHILLY juice was -137. I don't have the RPI rating for that date, but what you do is take the larger RPI and subtract lower RPI. In this case the difference favored Philly by 55 which is where we get the 55.
July 23 - PHILADELPHIA -137 (H55 A GAME) WIN
-137 = juice H = Home Game 55 = RPI Difference
Anything above 35 on home games is an A game. If that team loses, then you double up on the next game, if they lose again you triple up. Only one series failed this year. No failures after the All-Star Break.
RPI VALUE
VISITOR = 40 - 42 RPI (depending on strength)
HOME = 35 RP
