O/w outpricing r/t is common in the SFO-MSP market between DL and UA. I see it even (or perhaps especially) when r/t is at its cheapest. Sun Country is a great alternative to DL or UA (especially frequency-wise against UA). All SY fares are o/w-based, and they have a transparent ToD upgrade program for a solid domestic F product (if you don't care about wi-fi). If it doesn't sell out by T-24, SY F is often cheaper than UA Y.
