MONDAY: $548.57 ON THE PITTSBURGH PIRATES +105 OVER THE ST. LOUIS CARDINALS

I am fading Dom Chambers.

After losing my last bet yesterday, my Labby Line today is 18 - 18 - 18 - 18 - 39.6 .  I am betting to win 18 + 39.6 or 57.6 dimes or $576. My bet is $548.57 on the Pittsburgh Pirates +105 over the St. Louis Cardinals to win $576 or 57.6 dimes.

If I win that bet, my Labby Line on on Tuesday will be X - 18 - 18 - 18 - X.

If I lose today's bet my Labby Line will be 18 - 18 - 18 - 18 - 39.6 - 54.85.

The Dominator's game analysis:

A month or so ago, A.J. Burnett was lights out, especially at home. Something has happened and the magic is gone.

The Pirates start Burnett, but he has struggled lately. Overall, he is 18-5 with a 3.63 ERA. But in his last three starts, his ERA is 6.75 with a WHIP of 1.93.

The Pirates have hit a bump in the road, losing five of their last six games.

The Cardinals, on the other hand, are going in the opposite direction. Kyle Lohse gets the start. In his last three starts, he is 1-0 with a 1.31 ERA and a WHIP of 1.08.

The Cards have won five of their last six games.

Take the hotter team with the hotder pitcher.
