• [July 9] Lance Lynn has charged into the top 3 in AL Cy Young odds after picking up his MLB-Best 11th win.
• [March 4] Blake Snell defied the odds last year after sportsbooks had him pegged as a +27500 longshot to win the AL Cy Young Award. He won’t sneak up on anyone this season after leading the American League in wins, ERA, and ERA+ in 2018.

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..
