Jay Diamond over at Locksmith Sports Picks has got the Royal's ace Zack Greinke outdueling the Cardinal's newly-acquired Jeff Suppan.

Jay gives no shortage of reasons, but here are a two that may encourage you to side with him:

1. Depsite not living up to his 2009 AL Cy Young award-winning performance this season, Greinke's peripherals are still strong -- with 83 K’s and 18 walks in 96 innings and a WHIP of 1.20 -- and his last two outtings against top-10 offenses were stellar -- 17 batters struck out with zero walks and only 11 hits in 16 innings.
2. The Royals own the MLB's best batting average (.280).  This doesn't forbode well for Suppan, who, before leaving the Brewers, had a BAA of .372 and WHIP near 2.0.

Pick: Royals

Once you sift through all the sales propaganda at the top of the page, Steve Merril over at Expert Covers offers one of his free picks for today's MLB games -- St. Louis Cardinals @ Toronto Blue Jays Jun 22, 2010 7:07PM.

Steve recommends picking the UNDER with the line at 7.5 total runs. And he provides some pretty rock-solid reasons:

1. Toronto is only batting .199 as a team against lefties. That's well-below the dreaded Mendoza Line. And, unfortunately for the Jays, Jaime Garcia is whirling on the hill tonight.
2. Garcia has gone UNDER in 12 of his 13 starts!
3. The Cardinals have gone UNDER in 20 of their 34 road games.

Those are some pretty darn good reasons to pick UNDER.

Unless you're some sort of freak savant, you better listen to Steve.

So which way are you going?

Pick: Under.

The development team here at WinTheTrophy wrapped-up our second WTT Hackfest this weekend. Our focus over the past three days was on a new and upcoming feature called BetDuel. (Those users who attended the PUG a few months back received a preview of the mockup.)

We're really excited about this feature, as it will add direct, head-to-head competition to the site. You'll be able to challenge other users to see who can accumulate the most chips using just 1 bet, 3 bets, or multiple bets over a period of 7 days.

Look for this new feature within the next couple of weeks!
