Updated MLB Cy Young Odds: Alcantara, McClanahan, Verlander, Musgrove
Jun 21, 2022 - 3:39 PMMLB futures bets offer some of the highest payouts but also present a significant risk because of the length of the season. Hot streaks, cold streaks, injuries, and team performance all play a factor, and MLB futures bets are typically a rollercoaster.
Sandy Alcantara is off to a strong start in the National League and is the early favorite for the NL Cy Young thanks to a 1.72 ERA, 7-2 record, 0.96 WHIP, and 90 strikeouts through 99 1/3 innings for the Marlins. With Jacob deGrom still on the shelf, Joe Musgrove is currently behind Alcantara, with Corbin Burnes also in the mix. After those three, there is a large gap before we get to Zack Wheeler, Max Fried, and Carlos Rodon.
In the American League, Shane McClanahan has emerged as an early contender. Justin Verlander, who is returning from Tommy John surgery, is right behind him, and the trio of Nestor Cortes, Alek Manoah, and Gerrit Cole are bunched together in the +700 to +800 range. After that group, there is a large dropoff before Kevin Gausman (+1700), Shane Bieber (+2200), and Dylan Cease (+2500).
Let’s take a look at the current 2022 MLB Cy Young Odds across the various sportsbooks.

What are Player Futures?
Player futures refer to any player-based wager for a future event or a result. These bets often do not pay out until weeks or even months from when they are originally placed. Most player futures are built around a specific statistic, where bettors determine whether that player will come in above or below the oddsmakers’ total. They often open with odds at -110 but are adjusted based on where the majority of bets are placed.
