No. 1/8" is solely for singlespeed (or hubs gears). Pitch is the distance between the pins, not the width of the chain.
What does your chain wear tool say?
Is the chainring worn? They tend to wear faster than freewheels and cassettes: two rings vs five (in your case) rear sprockets, so the rings get more use.
