I've been doing some research on http://sportsdatabase.com to find out that the most profitable bet in baseball is betting on home dogs.

This is what i will do for the rest of the season. I'll post my plays and track my results here.

July 14th plays:

Baltimore: +103 Risking 48.54 to Win 50.00
Seattle: +105 Risking 47.62 to Win 50.00

[gohabsgo]

adding:
Toronto +131: Risking 38.17 to Win 50.00

Betting on home dogs used to be a good betting strategy. However, this year you would have done better betting on road teams.

Where u see that?

no with 100$ unit size, Betting on every single home dogs in 2011 you would have lost -$634 compared to losing -$834 betting against home dogs on all games. Both were losing proposition so far in 2011 because of the juice.

BUT, since 2004 if you'd bet on all home dog games you'd won +$9,178 and losing -$36,674 betting against the home dogs (road fav basically). Still with 100$ units.

I think on the long run betting home dogs is the way to go. From 2004 to 2010 only 2009 was bad for home dogs and 2004 being a break even year. +90 units since 2004, thats the only way to systematically make money IMO.

What i'm trying to find out now is what team should i pick, i do not want to play all home dogs games.

Pittsburg as been the best money maker in 2009 and 2010

something like this

3 Rules to follow:
1) You must eliminate the game where the underdog has lost 3 or more games in a row or the favorite has won 3 or more games in a row. Remember that every baseball team face some long losing streaks as well as long winning streaks.
2) Eliminate games where the money line for the underdog are higher then 2.50 (+150). If this is the case, there is a reason and you must avoid these games.
3) Eliminate games where the underdog is facing a very good pitcher. If they’re facing a pitcher who’s in the top 20 of the MLB, move on to another selection. The pitchers standing must be according to earned-run average (ERA). Starting ERA. May 1st

No down $634 this year, but without a filter, betting all home dogs since 2004 up $9,178.
The $834 is betting against home dogs, road fav basically
