Bailey Ober

Bailey Ober allowed four earned runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out seven over five innings in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Marlins.

Fantasy Impact

Despite a season that has generally trended positively, this outing was a bit of a setback for Ober, whose ERA and WHIP took slight hits. His season-long performance, including a 3.94 ERA and an impressive 1.00 WHIP, suggests this game might be more of an anomaly than a trend. However, fantasy managers should note the inconsistency in this start compared to his overall strong season metrics. Ober's ability to maintain a high strikeout rate (9.7 K/9) and a good strikeout-to-walk ratio (4.35) still makes him a viable option in most fantasy formats, but this game serves as a reminder of the volatility that can come with any pitcher.

Bailey Ober delivered a strong performance, striking out 12 while allowing two earned runs on four hits over seven innings in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Guardians.

Fantasy Impact

Despite his impressive strikeout numbers and maintaining control by not issuing any walks, Ober didn't factor into the decision. This outing underscores Ober's ability to dominate on the mound, evidenced by his high strikeout rate and low WHIP this season. His consistent performance, marked by a solid 3.84 ERA and a 0.97 WHIP across 29 starts, makes him a reliable option in fantasy leagues, particularly in categories that reward strikeouts and WHIP. While wins can be elusive and dependent on team support, Ober's individual metrics suggest he remains a valuable asset in fantasy rotations.

Bailey Ober endured a rough outing, allowing five earned runs on six hits and two walks while striking out six over 6 2/3 innings in Friday's 8-4 loss to the Reds.

Fantasy Impact

This performance marks a slight deviation from his otherwise stellar season, characterized by a strong 3.90 ERA and a 0.99 WHIP. Despite this setback, Ober's high strikeout rate of 9.4 K/9 and solid 4.10 strikeout-to-walk ratio continue to make him a valuable asset in fantasy leagues. However, his elevated BABIP of .239 suggests some regression might have been expected. Fantasy managers should consider this start a minor blip rather than a trend, keeping faith in his overall strong season metrics.

Bailey Ober delivered a masterclass in pitching efficiency, allowing just one hit and zero runs while striking out seven over seven innings in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Royals.

Fantasy Impact

Despite his stellar performance, Ober did not factor into the decision, a recurring theme that might frustrate fantasy managers given his solid season stats, including a 3.77 ERA and a 0.98 WHIP. His ability to maintain a high strikeout rate (9.4 K/9) and a low walk rate contributes positively to fantasy lineups, especially in formats that reward WHIP and strikeouts. However, his lack of run support, as seen in this game, could be a concern for wins moving forward.

Bailey Ober allowed one run on one hit across six innings on Sunday against the Blue Jays.

Fantasy Impact

Ober allowed a solo home run to Ernie Clement in the first inning. That would be the only hit he allowed across his six innings with eight strikeouts and three walks. He is scheduled to face the Royals in Kansas City next.
