This is a battle for supremacy in the hotly contested NL Central. The Pirates have a three-game lead, so this becomes a huge game for St. Louis at home. They certainly have the right pitcher on the mound to get it done in Lance Lynn. Lynn is 13-6 on the season, but more importantly he is 8-2 at home with an ERA of 2.78. The Cardinals have come up big after a loss where they are 41-20 in their last 61 games, and stand at 38-15 in their last 53 at home vs. a right-handed starter. Lynn has also delivered a 21-6 mark for the Cards at home in division matchups. A.J. Burnett has just two wins on the road all season, and the Pirates have taken the doughnut at 0-8 when he starts as a +110 to +150 dog. Play on St. Louis.
