White Sox vs. Royals: Dobnak’s Lower ERA Isn't Enough to Back Kansas City
Analysis updated September 24, 2026 at 7:03 AM CDT
Dobnak’s 3.08 ERA merits attention against Sandlin’s 6.29, but ERA alone can't establish value on the Royals.
Probable pitchers and price
Kansas City has the lower-ERA probable starter but is the home underdog at SPF, which lists the Royals at +104 and the White Sox at -125. Chicago Sports Wire, a Chicago sports publication, lists Randy Dobnak (3.08 ERA) against Chicago’s David Sandlin (6.29 ERA) for September 24 at Kauffman Stadium.
Those numbers favor Dobnak on one measure; they don't establish how either pitcher will perform in this matchup. Neither starter is confirmed, and without innings totals, strikeout rates or walk rates, the ERA gap is too limited a basis for choosing a winner or backing Kansas City. The moneyline recommendation is Pass.
SPF sets the total at 8.5, with the over at -122 and the under at +102. Unconfirmed lineups and a lack of bullpen and weather information also leave no supported total wager.
