In one of the most wide open races in years, the American League Cy Young Award race will be hotly contested down the stretch. Trying to assess the MLB betting chances of each competitor is difficult, but one of them has to win. SportsBetting.com features the latest odds on who will be named the top pitcher in the A.L.
- CC Sabathia 2/3
The current favorite, Sabathia is a veteran of Cy Young talk. He’s on arguably the best team in baseball, gets plenty of run support and has shown an amazing durability over the last few years. He’s an unflappable pitcher that is in the mix again. Unfortunately, the baseball odds value here isn’t all that great.
- David Price 3/2
Price is an electrifying hurler, combining power and finesse. He plays on a team that’s right there in the hunt with the Yankees, so he does get a lot of attention. Recently, he was outshone by Clay Buchholz in a pivotal division game, so we’ll see how he bounces back. The baseball betting odds for Price is decent considering his outstanding season. He’s listed at 3/2.
- Cliff Lee 5/2
You know he’s going to get a ton of run support each and every time he takes the mound. Cliff Lee has had his ups and downs this season, including being traded from Seattle to Texas. But, his sheer walk-to-strikeout ratio is the stuff of legends. He’s definitely in the talk and has the reputation to back it up. At 5/2, Lee’s odds are merited and probably exactly where they should be.
- Clay Buchholz 10/1
Wow, what a bargain. Clay Buchholz did just recently pitch better than Price head-to-head, but he also spent some time on the DL this season. The voters might penalize Buchholz for not playing a full season. His E.R.A is fantastic, but the wins may lag down the stretch. Still, his 10/1 MLB odds are intriguing.
If you’re looking for a hot pitcher and good betting value, take a flyer on Clay Buchholz.
