Bailey Ober is a fantasy baseball waiver wire pickup for Week 24 of the 2021 MLB season. Consider adding the SP if he's a free agent in your leagues.
BALLER MOVE: Add in leagues of 14+ teams
ROSTERED IN: 16% of leagues
ANALYSIS: Out of the pitchers available in over 50 percent of leagues, you'd be hard-pressed to find one who had a better month of August than Ober. Over his last five starts he's recorded a 2.30 ERA, 1.098 WHIP and 23.9 percent strikeout rate across 27 1/3 innings of work.
He'll start off the week against the hot-hitting Indians, who are slashing .260/.334/.474 and averaging 5.2 runs per game over their last 10 games. Despite earning the loss the last time he faced Cleveland, Ober still managed to record a quality start in that outing as he allowed three runs — two earned — on five hits while striking out three over six innings of work. Ober will also look to have a slight boost in value, as he's pitched better on the road this year (3.72 ERA, 1.128 WHIP) than at home (4.23 ERA, 1.278 WHIP). He'll wrap up the week with a more favorable matchup against the Royals, who are slashing .231/.285/.367 and averaging 4.0 runs per game over their last 10 games. He'll benefit from both the Royals' home-road and lefty-righty splits, as the Royals are hitting worse on the road this year (.232/.288/.373) and they're also hitting worse against right-handers (.237/.298/.377).
Ober figures to have a couple solid matchups this week and could be an excellent option in deeper leagues.
