Updated NL Cy Young Odds: Sandy Alcantara Continues to Pull Away

Jul 6, 2022 - 8:55 PM

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. Sandy Alcantara continues to make a strong case for the NL Cy Young award, and it may soon be too late to get favorable odds for that wager.

Alcantara fired eight scoreless innings in Tuesday’s 2-1 win over the Angels, allowing just two hits and no walks while racking up 10 strikeouts.

Alcantara turned in his second double-digit strikeout game of the season Tuesday and has now worked at least seven innings in 11 consecutive starts. Very few pitchers have rivaled his performance over the last couple of months, as Alcantara has put up an outstanding 1.33 ERA, 0.74 WHIP, and 23.5-percent strikeout rate across those 11 outings.

The Marlins ace is definitely among the favorites to take the mound first for the N.L All-Star team later this month, and is the clear early favorite for the National League Cy Young.

Let’s take a look at the current 2022 NL 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.
