Los Angeles Dodgers vs Chicago White Sox Starting Lineup — Sunday, Jun 14, 2026

Los Angeles Dodgers at Chicago White Sox (2026-06-14). Emmet Sheehan vs Erick Fedde at Rate Field.

Emmet Sheehan, pitching for the Dodgers, enters this contest with a season ERA of 4.7 over 59.1 innings pitched across 12 starts, complemented by a 1.21 WHIP and a strong 9.71 K/9 rate against a 2.43 BB/9. His recent performance metrics indicate an upward trend in ERA, despite a notable outing on April 24 where he recorded 10 strikeouts and allowed only 1 earned run over 6.1 innings, contrasting with earlier starts in April that saw higher earned run totals. Opposing him is Erick Fedde of the White Sox, who holds a nearly identical 4.69 ERA through 63.1 innings across 8 starts, but with a less impressive 1.39 WHIP, a lower 5.68 K/9, and a higher 3.41 BB/9. Fedde's ERA trend is also currently upward, and his last five starts show a consistent pattern of pitching around 5 to 6 innings, with varying run support and strikeout numbers, including a recent start with only 1 strikeout but 4 walks. Both pitchers share a 33.3 percent quality start rate this season, indicating a tendency for inconsistency in deep outings.

The Los Angeles Dodgers present a formidable offensive unit, boasting a season OPS of 0.788, driven by 382 runs scored and 97 home runs, alongside a 0.263 batting average. Their pitching staff has been equally impressive, registering a collective 3.32 ERA and a 1.09 WHIP, allowing only 71 home runs. This strong overall performance is reflected in their recent form, which shows them winning eight of their last ten games. In contrast, the Chicago White Sox offense has produced 327 runs with a 0.735 OPS and 93 home runs, but with a lower 0.241 batting average and a higher strikeout total of 625. Their pitching staff carries a higher 4.29 ERA and a 1.32 WHIP, having allowed 75 home runs, and their recent form indicates a struggle, with only four wins in their last ten contests.

The head-to-head history from July 2025 saw the Dodgers sweep the White Sox in a three-game series, with final scores of 6-2, 5-4, and 6-1. These past matchups featured lower run totals compared to the current game's elevated total line of 10.0. Given both starting pitchers have season ERAs hovering around 4.7 and recent upward ERA trends, combined with the Dodgers' potent offense and the White Sox's struggles, the 10.0 total line suggests an expectation for significant scoring, potentially favoring the Dodgers to contribute heavily against Fedde.
