The Yankees ace Gerrit Cole is the clear favorite (+250) to win this year’s AL Cy Young award for the first time in his 11-year career.
For as dominant as Gerrit Cole has been across more than a decade in the big leagues, he’s somehow never won a Cy Young award, twice finishing as the runner-up with three other top-five finishes. The Yankees ace is the clear favorite to win this year’s AL Cy Young award for the first time in his 11-year career, according to the latest odds atHe’s priced just ahead of Angels phenom Shohei Ohtani and Rays ace Shane McClanahan , who are the only other pitchers dealing at shorter than 10/1 odds.
He’s done all that while throwing the most innings in baseball with the AL’s best fWAR entering Thursday’s action. His strikeout rate is below 32 percent for the first time since he was traded from the Pirates in 2017, and his walk rate is by far the highest in that stretch, too. And while he’s attacking batters with a career-best 72.3 percent first-pitch strike rate, his whiff rate is also the worst since 2017, and he’s throwing fewer pitches in the zone than at any point in the Statcast era.
