Updated AL Cy Young Odds: Shane McClanahan Overtakes Justin Verlander

Jul 3, 2022 - 2:09 PM

The AL Cy Young Odds have looked like a rollercoaster ride through the first few months of the season. Last year’s American League Cy Young Award winner, Robbie Ray, has fallen all the way to +10000 according to the BettingPros Consensus MLB Cy Young Odds. And while other pre-season favorites like Gerrit Cole and Shohei Ohtani are still in the running, it currently looks like a two-man race between youngster Shane McClanahan and the ageless Justin Verlander.

Verlander recently became the first MLB pitcher to reach 10 wins this season, while McClanahan dominated the Blue Jays on Saturday to emerge as the new favorite to win the AL CY Young according to most sportsbooks.

MLB 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.

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.
