9. Edwin Jackson at Pittsburgh Pirates (5/23)
10. Tyler Chatwood at San Francisco Giants (5/24)
Risky Pick: Tyler Lyons at San Diego Padres (5/22)
I really like Teheran's two matchups in Week Eight. Porcello, Jackson, and Chatwood will also face some weak lineups. McCarthy made me look good in Week Seven, so he sits at number two this week as he will face San Diego. Kazmir and Williams have resurrected their careers and they have both been solid of late. Pettibone has been an impressive youngster for Philadelphia. Wade Davis has been pretty shaky in 2013, but I like his matchup against Houston and will take the risk of starting him against the Halos. I am going to ride the Cardinals pitching train in Week Eight and Gast and Lyons are the conductors. Lyons will make his major league debut. He has a 4.76 ERA in Triple-A this year.
Week Eight Hitters
Arizona Diamondbacks 3 games at Coors Field
Oakland Athletics 3 games at Texas Rangers / 3 games at Houston Astros
Colby Rasmus
Brandon Moss
Travis Snider
Rasmus and Snider will face righties in every game during Week Eight. Moss will also face a decent amount of right-handed pitching and he will play in Texas and Houston.
