Bailey Ober News
Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Bailey Ober has made two starts in the Grapefruit League this spring and been very impressive. In two starts thus far, Ober has allowed five runs (one earned), three hits, two walks and struck out 10. Seven of those 10 K's were in his most recent outing. Ober, 28, has had his fair share of injuries in his young career, but made a career-high 26 starts in 2023. In that span, he was 8-6 with a 3.43 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 146 strikeouts over 144 1/3 innings. Ober has quietly flown under the radar when health is on his side and with an ADP of 155, he should be able to return strong value in all formats.
Minnesota Twins right-hander Bailey Ober has been named the team's starter for Game 1 of the American League Division Series on Saturday against the Houston Astros on the road. Ober will be coming in on plenty of rest after not pitching in the two-game sweep of the Toronto Blue Jays in the wild-card series, but he'll have a tough matchup against Houston on his hands. The 28-year-old was sent to the minors for mental and physical rest in September, and he was excellent to close out the regular season with a 2.08 ERA, three walks and 26 strikeouts in 21 2/3 frames over four starts. Ober didn't face the Astros at all in the regular season. He'll be a DFS sleeper on Saturday and has pitched to a 3.57 ERA and 1.06 WHIP with 75 K's in 68 innings in his 12 starts on the road in 2023.
The Minnesota Twins haven't announced who will start for them in Game 1 of the American League Division Series on Saturday against the Houston Astros, but the likeliest candidates are right-hander Joe Ryan, who was scheduled to start Game 3 of the wild-card series against the Toronto Blue Jays, and righty Bailey Ober, who looked great in his final regular season start last Sunday. Ober wasn't included on the roster for the wild-card series, but the Twins have dropped hints he'll pitch at some point in the ALDS. He was sent to the minors in September for mental and physical rest, and he went 2-0 with a 2.08 ERA and 26 K's in 21 2/3 innings since returning on Sept. 15. Ryan hasn't been nearly as great since returning from the Injured List on Aug. 26, and he had a 4.79 ERA in seven second-half starts.

Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Bailey Ober will enter his fourth year in the Majors looking to build off a solid 2023 season. Ober has put up solid numbers in his first three years with the Twins, including a career year in 2023 across 26 starts. The 6-foot-9 starter had a 3.43 ERA across 144.1 innings pitched to go with just 29 walks and 146 strikeouts last season. Ober did spend some time in the Minor League toward the end of the year, as Minnesota tried to limit his innings pitched. But assuming that doesn't happen again in 2024, he should be a sneaky option later in your fantasy drafts. The 28-year-old gave up three runs or fewer in 22 starts and finished the year with a 1.8 BB/9 and a 9.1 SO/9. Ober will enter the 2024 season with a career 3.63 ERA over 57 starts.
