Ober & out(s): Righty looks to stay on roll at Texas

Today's Overview/Schedule/Weather: The middle Thursday of August brings a short slate. Just 14 teams are in action on a day with four daytime contests and a trio of night games. Dry conditions are in the weather forecast. The Matchup ratings are slightly bullish on the day's mound prospects, and a cadre of steady right-handers leads the list.

 

Notable Starts:

Bailey Ober looks to stay hot with a road start at the Texas Rangers. Ober's season ERA sat at 5.13 after a shaky start against PIT on June 9. He has registered a 1.76 ERA, 0.76 WHIP across nine starts since. Texas has slashed a .207/.284/.341 (.625 OPS) over its last nine games.
