The whole "public is wrong" idea was not true in the early months of the past 3 seasons. I do more research then just pitching matchups obviously but in past 3 years when I've made plays it generally follows public opinion for MLB. All 3 years I made 20+ units by mid June, one year as much as 60 units for $12,000. The problem I always ran into, and thus last year I bet half my unit size, was the all star break. I'd come back from all star break and lose every bet, and the public did too. So my guess is you will turn it around after the all star break and those value plays will finally start hitting for you. Good luck regardless!
Baseball's a very complicated grind. A lot of ebbs and flows, obviously. I agree with your pre- and post-ASB analysis. The key is to not pigeonhole yourself, and make sure you are constantly staying as informed as possible and not backing yourself into a corner with your strategy. You can't always fade the pubic. You can't always take dogs. You can't "always" do anything. It may look, at times, like I'm doing both, but I truly make bets based on numbers and my line vs. the posted line; if I see value, I bet a game. Of course, I do have a hard time laying heavy juice, but every once in a while, I will. The key is to remain open to discussion and possibilities. That, and doing your homework constantly. No shortcuts in MLB.

3 brock plays tonight

12)LA Dodgers -110

Greinke and Dodgers have been better on the road than home

13)St Louis/Atlanta UNDER 7 1/2 -110

Simply put, both teams bats are in the freezer right now, wouldn't want that OVER with a 10 foot pole

14)Washington Wizards +4

Indiana was lucky to survive Atlanta...they are due for a letdown after the series they got thru by the skin of their teeth, Wizards can easily win outright here
