Jake Peavy will be pitching on 10 days' rest when he takes the mound in Game 2 of the World Series on Wednesday night, which he believes will work in his favor.

After lasting just four innings for the San Francisco Giants in the second game of the NLCS, the right-hander has tried to smooth out his mechanics.

"I needed some time to make sure we got things back in place," Peavy said. "I fought myself a little bit in that start in St. Louis. So we just made a small mechanical adjustment."

Peavy threw two bullpen sessions rather than the customary one to compensate for the layoff, and he's confident that the adjustments he's made will pay off.
