Chicago at Seattle

The Chicago White Sox have slipped under the .500 mark and out of the race in the AL Central. Jake Peavy was once a dominant top-of-the-rotation pitcher for the Padres, but has seen arm trouble diminish his effectiveness, as he enters with an ERA over 5. The Mariners offense has been much better in the second half of the season, and red-hot lately with 21 runs in their last two games. Charles Furbush made his MLB debut this year, and has not fared well on the road. As is the case with most young pitchers, he has been superb at home where he has worked to a 3-1 mark backed by a prolific 1.47 ERA. Peavy's struggles have led the Pale Hose to a 2-6 mark in his last eight starts, while Seattle has run the streak at home to four straight vs. a losing team. Take Seattle in this one.
