i'm not a fan of 1-game vs 162 games worth of data like RS-RA difference or something strongly correlated to a winning season.
~18 games or more vs each other is likely better at picking the 'best' team of the two than a 1-game playoff too. maybe better than rs differential? whatever the math dictates, i just want the better team in the playoffs more times than other configurations.
no matter what you choose, sometimes the wrong team will get in. the only thing you can do is reduce that percentage as best you can.... or not if you like cinderella stories... guess i shoudln't assume. 1-game playoffs would help produce more opportunities for that to occur.
