As is the case for most weeks of fantasy baseball, there are some solid two start pitchers available and some starting pitcher sleepers and streamers to consider for Week 8. We believe that it's key to analyze every SP matchup each week, to help determine which pitchers to start/sit, and to hopefully find some hidden waiver wire options to consider adding to your teams depending on the league format.

All of the pitching matchups for Week 8 are listed here, with the projected starting pitchers for each MLB game. This article considers all of the SP performances thus far this season, the pitcher's opponents, their career stats, the ballpark factors and historical splits. Based on all of this information, we provide our start/sit recommendations for each starting pitcher matchup this week.

Choosing the right pitchers to sit or start can be a critical component for the success of fantasy teams. We are always trying to avoid the huge blow-up for your team, and an ugly ERA/WHIP injection to your team's overall stats. Benching a SP that gets touched up can be the difference between a win or loss in weekly formats. In more standard roto leagues, or in daily league formats, we try to be extra careful and prepare our daily fantasy lineups by choosing the proper matchups throughout the week. Good luck this week RotoBallers!
