What analytics were used? 

I personally don't have a clue.  Nor do I think anyone on this site does.  But a lot of folks on here seem to feel that was why the decision was made and why it was the correct one.

In this case I think analytics point to Ryan and the performance as shown by season statistics point to Ober.

I would have started Ober because all of his work leading up to the ALDS were focused on this date. They both get one start.

Sure hope Ryan comes up bigger in his start than Ober did.
