2024 Cy Young Award Odds & Best Bets

The 2024 MLB season is very quickly approaching, and pitchers and catchers will be reporting in a matter of weeks. Now is the time to dive into some of the MLB futures markets to see if we can find some value at the current numbers being offered at the sportsbooks.

Awards, World Series odds, and win totals are all markets that you should be looking into right now to find a good investment for the upcoming season. BetQL has you covered every step of the way, as not only will our model have bets on the games daily, but writers like myself will be scouring the lines to find the best value on MLB futures.

Let's take a look at some odds and best bets for the 2024 Cy Young awards.

Odds To Win 2024 AL Cy Young

Below are odds to win the American League Cy Young award (DraftKings odds as of May 21):

Best 2024 AL Cy Young Bets

Kevin Gausman, Blue Jays (+3000, DraftKings)

We have longshot tickets on George Kirby and Tanner Houck in our back pocket in case some leaders get injured, and I'm adding Gausman this week at 30/1 odds in the AL. He's had a really tough go of things this season with a 4.89 ERA and 5.40 xERA, but if you take a look at how he has actually pitched without factoring in anything else, it hasn't been bad.

He owns a 3.46 xFIP, which is "Expected Fielder Independent Pitching", a true rating as to how a guy has pitched. Normally, this number is close to the xERA, but in some cases, they are far apart. This just shows that he has been EXTREMELY unlucky in 2024.

Odds To Win 2024 NL Cy Young

Below are odds to win the National League Cy Young award (DraftKings odds as of May 21):

Best 2024 NL Cy Young Bets

Sonny Gray, Cardinals (+2000, DraftKings)

We have longshot bets in on Max Fried and Logan Webb in the NL, and I'm adding Gray this week at 20/1 odds to win the Cy Young. Injuries can always happen, and I like to sprinkle some guys that I think have high upside and an outside shot just in case they do.

The veteran pitcher has been spectacular in 2024, with a 3.19 xERA and VERY low 2.60 xFIP, showing how tremendous he has been on the mound. Gray is unfortunately on a disappointing Cardinals team, but he himself has been really good. At 20/1 odds, I think he is certainly worth a small sprinkle right now in a long season.

Not only will we have MLB AL & NL Cy Young picks from all of your favorite experts and personalities all season long, but we of course will have MLB picks every day from the BetQL model to keep us rolling in the green all summer long, and I don't mean just the grass outside. The model ranks every MLB bet on a "star scale", which tells you the most valuable bets at the current lines every single day of the 2024 MLB season up to and including the World Series. The star ratings are ranked from 1-star to 5-star in terms of how valuable the bet is, with 1-star being a no-bet and 5-star being the most valuable bet that you should jump on right away before it moves.

It would take days for a human to handicap every side, total, and prop for every game during a day. Instead, our model is able to simulate every game 10,000 times and give you the most likely outcome for each bet. It's amazing what technology can do nowadays, and with the BetQL model getting better and better every season by adapting and learning, the books don't have a prayer.

Understanding MLB Cy Young Picks

If you are new to betting, then you may not understand what the AL & NL Cy Young is. You've come to the right place, as we will explain everything you need to know here to bet on the AL & NL Cy Young. The MLB is split up between two leagues, the American League and National League. In each of these leagues, a Cy Young winner will be crowned as the best pitcher in his league that year. This award usually goes to the lowest ERA, but a strikeout pitcher can win it every now and then. Basically, the Cy Young goes to the best pitcher in each league. Keep in mind, this is a season-long bet, so your money will be tied up until a winner is announced.

Example: You log on to DraftKings Sportsbook and go to the MLB player awards future tab. You scroll to Cy Young award and see a whole bunch of players listed with their prices. Consulting this page, you find that you really like a best bet on Zac Gallen to win NL Cy Young at +1500. If he wins the award at the end of the season, you win the bet!

You can place these bets at any sportsbook of your choosing, but I recommend using whatever book gives you the best number. If one book is offering +750, while the other is offering +850 and you want to bet it, always take the +850.

Indeed, we are going to crush MLB again this year, so subscribe today and let's send the books into panic mode.
