I'm working on an alternate WW2 scenario and I was wondering if I could get some advice on it.

The basic idea is that there is no Molotov/Ribbentrop Pact and Nazi Germany was able to get Poland to align with them against the Soviets (the Soviets agreed to stop at the Curzon line during the Polish-Soviet War ITTL which throws up a number of butterflies). As a result, when alt-Barbarossa comes around the Soviets have concentrated most of their forces and defences on the border with Poland. Instead of charging headlong into the Soviet forces the Germans decide to invade the neutral Baltic states in order to outflank the Curzon line, and make a push for Leningrad.

How effective would this be as a military strategy?

Obviously the less developed infrastructure of the Baltic States doesn't exactly make them ideal for a blitzkrieg the same way that the Low Countries were.
