Peavy lasted 7.1 innings against the Indians, throwing 109 pitches, giving up a pair of runs on four hits with three strikeouts and three walks. Peavy, the 2007 Cy Young winner in the National League, is working on getting back to his best after an injury-plagued 2009, and he hasn\u2019t faced the Rays since 2007 while still in San Diego.<\/p>\n Peavy tossed a two-hitter over seven scoreless innings with eight strikeouts and three walks in a 9-0 shutout in Tampa.\u00a0NBA odds have LeBron James as the favorite to win another MVP; Peavy is just looking to get close to his Cy Young-winning form.<\/p>\n Chicago fans may be more interested in\u00a0Predators vs Blackhawks odds<\/a> on Thursday, but they should get behind their White Sox, who should be the favorites in this MLB betting contest.
\nTampa Bay: 11-4 SU
\nChicago: 5-10 SU <\/p>\n
