Question Dogs, Favorites & value in baseball

Some people play only dogs in baseball.

It's one of the only sports where you can hit below 50% and still make money.

On the favorites side, it's one of the few that you can hit over 60% and lose money still.

So where does value lie in betting baseball?

What are your thoughts?

Baseball and Hockey are sports that I will rarely bet a favorite, and usually +120 or higher

I personaly never bet a favorite in a single play , if im betting a heavier fav i always parlay 2 favs together ...cant stand loosing the juice on a fav ...

my favorite spots are to avoid a sweep by the home team and betting a team after they snap a loosing streak and when they snap a winning streak bet on them to loose again the next game .

Dogs and totals are my main focus, but will throw a heavy fav into a parlay.
