2024 American League Cy Young Odds

Corbin Burnes has overtaken Gerrit Cole as the favorite to win the AL Cy Young, thanks to Cole’s elbow injury during Spring Training.

  • Apr. 25: Skubal (+470) has almost caught Burnes (+447) after the latter had a pedestrian last couple starts.
  • Apr. 10: Burnes has been rock-solid through three starts and has shortened to +436 on average. Detroit ace Tarik Skubal is now the second-favorite at +588.
