Last year, Jacob deGrom started the season as the favorite to win the Cy Young Trophy in the Nationals. But after a 2021 season to be forgotten due to injuries, he is once again at the top of the list of favorites to win the individual trophy in his league.

After winning the title two years in a row in 2018 and 2019, deGrom came close to winning it in 2020, but it was ultimately Trevor Bauer who won it. As I mentioned, 2021 has been a year to forget for him and in 2022 he will try to stay healthy.
At 100% health, the right-hander remains the best pitcher in MLB.
Corbin Burnes (+750), Max Scherzer (+800) and Zack Wheeler (+800) are also among the top of the class.
The name of the former Blue Jays, Steven Matz, is also included. The new Cardinals gunner is 32nd, yes, but still there. His ratings are high at +8000. You could make a few hundred dollars by betting on him… But his chances of bringing the Cy Young home at the end of the season are minimal. Although we probably said that about Robbie Ray last year.
Marcus Stroman is ranked 22nd with odds of +4000. He wants a good start with his new team.
In 2021, Corbin Burnes won the Cy Young in the National. Robbie Ray had won it in the American.
For 2022, which is your choice?
