AL Cy Young Contenders by Division

The AL East is home to some of the best teams in baseball, so it should come as no surprise that it also contains some of the best pitchers. Boston hurlers Chris Sale and David Price are perennial Cy Young contenders, and New York’s Luis Severino and Masahiro Tanaka are two talented young players who should benefit from plenty of run support in 2019.

AL Cy Young Odds for Previous Winners

Justin Verlander hasn’t won the Cy Young Award since 2011, but he showed he’s still capable of carrying a staff in 2018 when he posted a 16-9 record to go along with a sparkling 2.52 ERA. How much longer can he continue to defy Father Time?

2019 National League Cy Young Odds

Top Contenders

• [Oct 2] An electric stretch run for deGrom (-250) vaulted him to odds-on favorite. He wasn’t even in the top five a month ago. He gave up just 12 hits, two walks, and one run over his final four starts (28.0 IP), while striking out 35 batters.
• [Sept 2] Scherzer has closed the gap between he and Ryu after the Dodgers pitcher has allowed 18 earned runs in his last three starts
• [Aug 2] An injury to Max Scherzer has but Hyun-Jin Ryu back to the top of the odds at -150. He continues to lead the majors in ERA and WHIP among starters.
• [July 9] Max Scherzer is now the odds-on favorite to win the NL Cy Young award after going undefeated in June.
• [March 4] It’s no surprise to see Max Scherzer among the top candidates to win the 2019 NL Cy Young Award. The Washington ace led the National League in wins, complete games, shutouts, innings, strikeouts, batters faced, and WHIP in 2018..

NL Cy Young Contenders by Division

Not only are some of Scherzer’s biggest obstacles in the NL East, but they’re also on his own team. Fellow rotation mates Stephen Strasburg and Patrick Corbin both possess A+ stuff and could easily unseat ‘ol Blue Eye in 2019.

NL Cy Young Odds for Previous Winners

Scherzer is one of only six pitchers to win the Cy Young award in both leagues. Will he be four-times lucky in 2019?
