"Fantasy Baseball Pitcher Rankings and Roundup for Week 8"

Kodai Senga had a rough outing against the Reds and should not be trusted for consistent success. Nathan Eovaldi had an awesome performance against the Athletics, while Alex Cobb did exactly what was expected of him. Drew Rasmussen had a great outing against the Yankees, and Brady Singer remains a Cherry Bomb with inconsistent performances.

Mike Clevinger had a PQS with a good WHIP, and Bailey Ober had a killer pitch separation.
