Just decided to do this for fun, but it's surprisingly off to a great start. If anyone wants to expand or tweak anything, feel free. Just make sure to tell us what the hell your doing and track it to see if it works. Basically, using good 'ol wagerline.com, I'm trying this:
I'm using the consensus of the top 10% of players for MLB. In it, I'm taking all the underdogs that have over 50% consensus and have a +moneyline (in hopes that it'll cover the losses in the longrun). A few days in, and I have this so far:
*All bets are a standard 100 units*

Also wanted to tell you that the best time to look at the consensus is about an hour before the first game starts (noonish if a 1pm game is on) I just took a look back and Texas is no longer on the majority side, however NYM (+129), TB (+104), and CHW (+101) is. So just be aware of this factor.

Underdogs hit at a profitable rate at the beginning of every season. There is an individual that has part of his system designed around this concept, and using this part of his system, your bankroll would be up almost 29%. While his system has ended, if you continue to use this concept throughout the season, you will see a drastic shift as the good teams begin to separate themselves from the bad.

kbguster - I used the consensus in the same way you did except played the run line on home favorites only with top ten consensus > 50% as you did. Results from start of MLB season are +860 units. If you filter out home favs going off at -200 ML and above and any run line above +170, the results are even better at +1475 units (30-28). I had to estimate on the run lines based on the money line so there is definitely room for error but even if you factor that out the results are impressive. I am going to post this to another thread and track it....
