The MLB’s recent plague of pitcher injuries has caused a massive shift on the Cy Young betting board.

*odds as of 4/13/2024
Zach Wheeler is the new favorite to win the award in the National League.
The Phillies stud opened the season with the second-highest odds to win the award in the NL at +900 but has since overtaken Strider as the leader at +450.
Closing the gap on Burnes in the American League is Detroit Tigers pitcher Tarik Skubal at +650.
Before the start of the season, FOX Sports MLB analyst Ben Verlander named Skubal as one to watch in the AL.
“Skubal has all the elements in place for a breakout 2024. He’s a left-hander whose fastball can hit triple digits. He’s been lights out so far in spring training. His advanced metrics were off the charts last year, thanks in no small part to that incredible strikeout-to-walk ratio.”
In two starts, Skubal currently has a 1-0 record with 15 strikeouts and an ERA of 2.92.

Another name to watch on the National League side is Dodgers pitcher Tyler Galsnow, whose odds of winning the award have improved from +1400 to +900.
Glasnow has stepped into the ace role for the Dodgers and hasn’t disappointed.
He currently leads the league with a 3-0 record and 29 strikeouts and holds an ERA of 2.25.
In his most recent outing, Glasnow stuck out a career-high 14 batters against the Twins.
