MLB Cy Young Picks & Predictions

2023 MLB Cy Young Picks

The AL Cy Young award goes to the pitcher in the AL that is voted to be the best, and we have had a number of great winners of that award over the years. BetQL will have you covered throughout the entire season with all of our best bets and predictions as to who will win the 2023 AL Cy Young.

Last season, there was a clear winner of the AL Cy Young award, and that was Houston Astros starter Justin Verlander. Despite coming back from Tommy John surgery, Verlander was still easily the best pitcher in baseball at the ripe age of 39. He went 18-4 with an incredible 1.75 ERA in 28 starts to win his third Cy Young. He was the first pitcher to win the award after not pitching the previous season. He beat out Chicago White Sox ace Dylan Cease for the award.

The NL Cy Young award goes to the pitcher in the NL that is voted to be the best, and we have had a number of great winners of that award over the years. BetQL will have you covered throughout the entire season with all of our best bets and predictions as to who will win the 2023 NL Cy Young.

Last season, there was a unanimous leader for the award. Miami Marlins starter Sandy Alcantara was a workhorse all year for the Marlins. He led Major League Baseball with 228 2/3 innings pitched and tossed six complete games, more than any MLB team. Alcantara finished second in the National League in ERA (2.28), sixth in WHIP (.980) and fourth in strikeouts (207).

Odds To Win AL Cy Young

Below, you'll see current odds to win the American League Cy Young award (via DraftKings on May 22):

Best AL Cy Young Bets

• Shane McClanahan +400: The Rays are on fire to begin the season, and McClanahan has done his part to help them get there. If they keep winning, he will be there in the conversation at the end if he keeps pitching well and his odds do continue to get shorter.
• Gerrit Cole +350: The value here is a little bit dry, however, Cole is a strikeout machine. He's so dominant, and for the most part, shuts everyone down that he faces. His odds keep getting shorter, so if you like him to win it, hop on them.

Odds To Win NL Cy Young

Below, you'll see current odds to win the National League Cy Young award (via DraftKings on May 22):

Best NL Cy Young Bets

• Spencer Strider +225: Strider has overtaken Alcantara and the pack for the top spot on the odds list as the favorite, but he's still a good bet here at these odds. Strider's strikeout stuff is incredible, and he had nine in each of his first three starts this season. If he can stay healthy over a full season, his K-rate alone should put him right there at the top.
• Zac Gallen +190: Gallen is 6-2 with 72 strikeouts through his first 10 starts, including an impressive 11 strikeouts against the Brewers. His odds continue to shorten and he will hopefully keep this up as the season goes along, and we will see a guy who has been overlooked for far too long.

Understanding MLB AL & NL 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.
