Using martingale to scalp a win in MLB Postseason

I read about this somewhere but don't remember the exact way to do it. Most of the time MLB postseason games go more than 4 games. All of the time it is impossible to lose more than 4 in the series. So martingaling a team means you need 1+2+4+8=15 units.
So, the strategy (not system) went this way. Bet enough to win 15 units on the favorite. Then bet on the underdog each game, martingaling your bet if they lose. Then you stand the best chance of winning the most. If it goes to 7 games a person could have a guaranteed payday.
I don't call this "hedging" as much as I call it "scalping." Similar to an equities trader who takes a small profit on a short-term situation. No one everf went broke taking profits. So, is this a viable strategy? Am I missing an improtant part of it?
