Ober allowed three runs on five hits and a walk while striking out eight over six innings Sunday against the Tigers. He did not factor into the decision.
EDGE Analysis
The Tigers tacked all three of their runs against Ober in the third inning on two doubles and two singles. He settled down after that and tossed three strong frames while allowing only one batter to reach on a walk. The 27-year-old racked up a season-high eight strikeouts and generated 17 whiffs while avoiding a loss after the Twins wound up coming back to win in extra innings. Ober has quality starts now in four of his last five outings and sports a sparkling 2.98 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 66:15 K:BB over 69.2 innings thus far. He lines up for a meeting with the Orioles next weekend.

Ober (4-4) took the loss Tuesday, allowing three runs on eight hits over six innings against the Red Sox. He struck out four.
EDGE Analysis
Though Ober managed his third quality start in his last four appearances, he fell to his fourth loss of the season Tuesday. After holding Boston scoreless through three innings, Ober surrendered solo homers to Adam Duvall and Christian Arroyo in the fourth. Over his last three starts (17.1 innings), Ober owns a 4.15 ERA with an 18:3 K:BB and has served up five long balls. He's tentatively scheduled to make his next start during a three-game road series against Detroit this weekend.

Ober (4-3) earned the win Wednesday, allowing two runs on six hits and one walk over six innings against Milwaukee. He struck out seven.
EDGE Analysis
After surrendering back-to-back home runs to Brian Anderson and Luis Urias in the second inning, Ober only allowed three more hitters to reach base over his six innings of work. The right-hander struck out seven batters for the second straight start and has now gone at least six innings in five of his last eight appearances. Ober has more than held his own this season, limiting opponents to two or fewer runs in seven of his 10 starts.

Ober (3-3) took the loss Thursday, allowing four runs on three hits and two walks over 5.1 innings against Tampa Bay. He struck out seven.
EDGE Analysis
Ober (3-3) ran right through the Rays' lineup the first time around, striking out the side in both the second and third innings while not allowing a baserunner through the first three frames. The second time around didn't go as smoothly, however, as the right-hander surrendered three runs with two outs in the fourth, including a two-run bomb to Harold Ramirez. Ober has now lost his last three decisions, though his seven strikeouts Thursday tied his season high. He also produced an impressive 15 swings and misses in the contest.

Ober yielded four hits over six scoreless in Friday's win over Cleveland. He struck out three and did not factor in the decision.
EDGE Analysis
Ober allowed just one Guardian to reach scoring position and face almost no trouble in his strong outing. He dropped his ERA to 2.33 with his first scoreless appearance since May 5. The 27-year-old righty registered a 4.09 ERA over his previous four starts but he walked just five batters during that span. Ober is projected to start in Tampa Bay next week.

Ober (3-2) took the loss Sunday against the Blue Jays after allowing two runs on five hits and a walk while striking out seven over five innings.
EDGE Analysis
Ober failed to make it past five innings for the second straight outing but did strike out a season-high seven batters and had 17 whiffs in the process. The two runs he let up were a bit unlucky, as it came from a bloop single that dropped between three Twins players in shallow left center. The 27-year-old settled in the rest of the way and only allowed one more batter to get into scoring position. Overall, Ober has been an excellent addition to the Twins' rotation and now sits at a 2.68 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 37:11 K:BB over 40.1 innings. He lines up for a home start against the Guardians next weekend.

Ober (3-1) took the loss against San Francisco on Monday, allowing four runs on three hits and three walks while striking out two batters over five innings.
EDGE Analysis
Ober had a disastrous start to the contest, issuing three walks and surrendering two hits (a double and a homer) while allowing four runs before notching his first out. To his credit, the right-hander bounced back and held the Giants to just one hit and no runs the rest of the way, but enough damage had already been done to send him to his first loss of the campaign. Though Ober's fantasy managers won't be happy with this performance, there is likely some relief in seeing the non-catastrophic final line given how the outing started for him. Ober still owns an excellent 2.55 ERA and 0.99 WHIP on the season.

Ober (3-0) allowed a run on six hits and a walk while striking out six over six innings to earn the win Tuesday versus the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Ober's strung together three straight quality starts, and he's struck out six batters in each of his last four outings. He threw 65 of 102 pitches for strikes in a fairly dominant showing Tuesday. The right-hander is now at a 1.78 ERA, 0.96 WHIP and 28:7 K:BB through 30.1 innings over five starts this season. Ober is lined up for a home start versus the Giants in his next outing.

Ober allowed three runs on six hits and no walks while striking out six batters over six innings in a no-decision against San Diego on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Ober's outing didn't start off well, as he served up a solo homer to Fernando Tatis on the first pitch of the game. However, the right-hander rebounded from there, yielding just two more runs and completing six frames to record his second consecutive quality start. Ober's ERA actually jumped nearly a run (from 0.98 to 1.85) despite the solid outing, as he entered Thursday having given up one or zero runs in each of his first three starts. He's posted a 22:6 K:BB over 24.1 innings and has been a great find for fantasy managers after spending most of the first month of the season in the minors.

Ober (2-0) earned the win Friday, allowing zero runs on three hits and one walk over seven innings during a 2-0 victory over the Guardians. He struck out six.
EDGE Analysis
Ober drew a second straight start with Kenta Maeda (triceps) and Tyler Mahle (elbow) on the injured list, and he continues to make the most of his limited opportunities. Friday's outing marked Ober's first quality start of the season, and he's allowed just two runs over three appearances (18.1 innings). Ober's 0.98 ERA and 0.87 WHIP are likely unsustainable, and his 16:6 K:BB isn't eye-popping, but he continues to get results and should remain in the rotation as long as Maeda and Mahle are unavailable.
