10 Fantasy Baseball Players to Buy and Sell for Week 8
Buy Jack Flaherty
The St. Louis Cardinals have something pretty good in Jack Flaherty, folks. On Sunday against the Phils, his second game since returning from the minors, Flaherty pitched 7.2 innings and gave up just 1 run on 2 hits with 13 strikeouts and 1 walk, lowing his ERA after four starts this season to 2.31, with a 2.84 FIP.
He has 27 strikeouts and 7 walks in 23.1 innings this season, for a 30.3% strikeout rate and an opponents' batting average of .207. He's not a flamethrower, averaging between 91 93 miles per hour on his fastball, but he has a slider he throws 26.9% of the time that, in his brief MLB career thus far, has been difficult for both right-handers and left-handers to figure out.

Flaherty could end up being a really nice addition for fantasy teams looking to solidify the back of their rotation.
