Thanks haus....I believe you tracked the dog fulcrum plays last year?  How did they do if you did?  I can't remember if you did or not.

I can't remember specifics but whenever there was a dog fulcrum I always sprinkled a little on the run line also.

No, just the dog fulcrum. I've concluded that your fulcrum plays have a high probablility of winning the game outright. Therefore if I take the +1.5 along with the money line and the dog loses by 1 run it cuts some of my losses on the money line. Don't know if this is good practice but that's how I play it.

Oh, I see.   I hope it works out for you. 

There was somebody last year that was tracking the -1.5 fav's on the fulcrum.  I believe they were saying that they were winning just as much.  In other words, when the fulcrum favorites came in as winners, they came in easily.   We can only hope the trend continues. 

The Reservoir Dogs play may be legitimate at this point as I have over 150 game sample between last year and 2013.

The only time I think it's not bad to do a ML dog would be when you just can't get away from making a big play SU on a favorite.  For example, if you really liked Oakland today, and felt it worthy of a big play, then I'd say hedge it with at least 1 two team parlay. 
Oakland -$113/$100
$30 Seattle +1.5 / ???

Then you hoping Oakland wins to be up $70, but if they lose you hope you can hit your other game so that it's not so much of a loss.  This is not a good habit to get into in my experience, but if you really like two plays, and you love one that happens to be a favorite, this seems the best strategy.
