This is a low line for Bailey Ober who has struggled during his first three starts, however I like his chances of putting together a quality outing against a Detroit team that is 26th in OPS against opposing right handed pitching. Last season Ober eclipsed this line in 15/26 starts. My buddy and excellent MLB expert A-Mags turned me on to this play.

Bailey Ober went six innings last weekend against this Tigers lineup and even though I don't love back to back matchups for pitchers, we're getting this line at 15.5 again and I think it should be at 16.5... Ober was efficient in that last start, needing 84 pitches to complete six innings while allowing just three hits. If not for a bad (and abbreviated) first start, he likely would have pitched into the 6th inning in his second start too, when he threw 68 pitches in five innings while allowing three hits. The Twins used four bullpen arms to back up Joe Ryan yesterday, and despite some trouble with runs, Ryan still was allowed to pitch into the 6th inning.
