The series has been a coin flip. Chicago jumped LA 8-2 on Friday, then Yoshinobu Yamamoto carried a perfect game into the 7th on Saturday in a 7-1 Dodgers win that flipped the entire weekend. The White Sox at 37-32 are the surprise here — they're playing legit baseball and just took 2 of 3 from the Braves before this. The Dodgers at 45-26 are still the Dodgers, but they've gone 3-2 over their last 5 and dropped one in Pittsburgh that they had no business losing.
The injury sheet is also doing a lot of work in this one. LA is without Will Smith (neck, 10-day IL), Teoscar Hernandez (hamstring), Kiké Hernandez (oblique tear, 6-to-8 weeks), Blake Snell and Tyler Glasnow on the 60-day, plus Edwin Diaz and Evan Phillips out of the bullpen. Tommy Edman is reportedly close — Dave Roberts floated Tuesday as a possible return — but he doesn't help today. The White Sox are missing Kyle Teel, Austin Hays, and Munetaka Murakami, though Teel is also reportedly close to a rehab assignment.

The read on Sunday is whether you trust Fedde's recent form to hang with a depleted but still loaded LA lineup, or whether Sheehan bounces back from a 1.1-inning meltdown the way good arms usually do. Pinnacle has the Dodgers at -180 with a total of 9.5, which says the market is taking the Dodgers' name over Fedde's last two outings. Day game, get-away spot, rubber match — pretty good Sunday baseball if you've got an hour to kill.
