2018 AL Cy Young Finalists & Odds
All odds taken on 11/07/18.
Snell became the overwhelming favorite to win the 2018 AL Cy Young Award after leading the league in wins and ERA.
2018 AL Cy Young Preseason Favorites
Kluber has some serious competition in the AL, where he finds himself behind Red Sox fireballer Chris Sale. The 29-year-old has led the league in strike outs in three of the last four years and his fastball is as lively as ever.
2018 National League Cy Young Odds
2018 NL Cy Young Finalists Odds
Jacob deGrom, Max Scherzer, and Aaron Nola were named the finalists for the 2018 NL Cy Young Award. The winner was announced on November 14th at 6:00 p.m. ET on MLB Network.
2018 NL Cy Young Finalists & Odds
DeGrom came out on top in Cy Young voting despite the fact that Max Scherzer led the National League in wins, complete games, shutouts, innings, strikeouts, batters faced, and WHIP.
2018 NL Cy Young Preseason Favorites
For the second straight year, Scherzer’s Cy Young odds are a little longer than those of Clayton Kershaw. The Dodgers southpaw had a sensational season in 2017 and likely would have won the award were it not for a bout of back tightness that caused him to miss five starts.
