MLB Picks: The White Sox will look to take a 2-0 series lead tonight as they face the Cleveland Indians for a 8:11pm ET battle at U.S. Cellular Field in Chicago. Ozzie Guillen's squad won 10-6 last night to give them their eighth win in their last 10 games. Chicago is presently favored at -142 on the moneyline in SBGglobal.com's MLB Picks: Indians vs White Six MLB Betting Odds- July 8, 2009. Chicago blasted their way to a 43-40 record yesterday after Paul Konerko hit three home runs and drove in seven. The 3-for-4 effort by the first baseman was aided by the always dependable Mark Buehrle, who worked seven innings, giving up seven hits and three earned runs. The victory was Chicago's 21st of the year at U.S. Cellular Field. The 37 year old Jose Contreras will look to keep the Sox red hot as he makes his 12th start of the year tonight. The veteran right-hander had a miserable beginning to the season, performing so poorly he earned a ticket to the Sox triple-A affiliate in Charlotte. However, since his return to the big leagues, Contreras has been outstanding, yielding just 24 hits and nine earned runs in 37.1 innings. In his last outing (July 1st), the Cuban faced the Indians in Cleveland where he gave up five hits and two earned runs in a 6-2 win. Cleveland continued their sad sack play in last night's loss and dropped to 33-51 overall. The defeat was their seventh in their last 10 contests and 26th away from Progressive Field. The Indians, which were expected to contend for the American League Central title, are in last place in the division and 13.5 games back of the Tigers. Aaron Laffey returns from the DL tonight to make his fifth start of the season. The 24 year old Maryland native is 2-0 with a 4.09 ERA. Opponents a hitting .266 against the southpaw; he has walked 15 batters while striking out just 10. In seven road outings this season, Laffey is 1-1 with a 5.59 ERA.
