Yesterday, I told you that Jacob deGrom was the favorite to win the Cy Young in the National.
Corbin Burnes (+750), Max Scherzer and Zack Wheeler (+800) are also among the top of the class. https://t.co/jITHbir2nK

Today, place to the odds in the American.
Gerrit Cole (+500), Shane Bieber (+800) and Robbie Ray (+800) are the three pitchers most likely to bring home the trophy at the end of the season.
Reminder: it was Robbie Ray who won the prize last year in Toronto. Will he be able to achieve the feat for a second consecutive season, with a different team?

Two White Sox pitchers in Lucas Giolito and Dylan Cease, as well as Sean Manaea trail Ray with odds of +1000.
Manaea? Really? The southpaw is a good pitcher, but he’s had an average season in 2021 and can’t be said to be among the best in his league.
New Blue Jays gunner Kevin Gausman is No. 12 on the list with +1600 odds. Four ranks further, José Berrios has odds of +2500. Hyun-Jin Ryu completes the Toronto presence in the list, he who is in 20th place with a rating of +4000.
Justin Verlander, returning from Tommy John surgery, has high odds at +1400. Same for Chris Sale. I can’t wait to see if the two pitchers coming back from major injuries can return to their usual elite level.
With the work stoppage over, the answers to questions will be answered in less than a month.
