SATURDAY: $391 BET ON THE ATLANTA BRAVES -115 OVER THE NEW YORK METS, 4:10 PM EASTERN START TIME

I continue to fade Lang using the Labby Line.

After losing  my last bet on July 8, my Labby Line today is 10 - 10 - 10 - 10 - 24, so I will be betting to win 10 + 24 or betting to win 34 dimes. My bet is $391.00 on the Atlanta Braves -115 over the New York Mets to win $340.00 or 34 dimes.

 If I win that bet, then my Labby Line on Sunday will be: X - 10 - 10 - 10 - X.

 If I lose today's bet my Labby Line for tomorrow will be: 10 - 10 - 10 - 10 - 24 - 39.1.

What is a Labby Line?

Mr Lang's analysis of the game:

Going to ride the knuckleballer on the road early this afternoon in good old hotlanta.

Since he was destroyed for 8 runs on 8 hits on this field back on April 18th, Dickey hasn't lost since going 10-0 with a 1.84 ERA.

As he goes for #11 in a row today he does so against Tommy Hanson who comes in having a pretty good year as well.

At 10-5 with an ERA pushing 4, he has gone 5-1 since the beginning of June and just beat the Phillies 6-3 on Saturday before the all-star break.

However, if there is one team Mr Hanson has struggled with over the course of his career, it has historically been these New York Mets.

Back on April 16th he lost his 4th straight start against them giving up 5 runs in 7 innings of a 6-1 loss pushing his ERA to 6.64 in this 4 game series losing streak.

All things considered, I love Dickey at this price and considering the Mets and their success versus Hanson, I'll roll the dice with the boys from the big apple early today.

This near pickem road team steps up with a big win today.
