Sports Book Faves to Acquire the CY Young Award

Who are the faves at the online sportsbook in baseball betting to win the CY Young award this season? There is no question that Ubaldo Jimenez is the favorite at the Internet sportsbook in the National League while there are several contenders in the AL.

 

Sportsbook probabilities greatly prefer Jimenez in the National League. For the first 2 months of the season he has been the top pitcher in baseball. He has won 14 competitions already this season and although he has looked mortal recently, he’s still the overwhelming favorite in the NL. It ought to be noted that much of his latest struggles came vs American league teams and he won’t be struggling with them again this season.

 

If you’re looking for a pitcher that may make a run and upset Jimenez then it could be Florida’s Josh Johnson. He went 8 straight starts from mid-May through Mid-June allowing 1 run or no runs. It was the 3rd-longest streak in Major league baseball history.

 

You can not discount St Louis pitchers Adam Wainwright and Chris Carpenter. What affects these 2 is that they pitch on the same squad. Voters robbed him, yet Carpenter should have picked up the award last season. They could both miss out this year although they’ve been great. Wainwright went six innings or more in his 1st 15 starts. Carpenter has performed the same thing in each of his 16 starts. Wainwright pitched a league topping 233 innings in 2009 and he’s averaging more than 7 innings for each start through two months in 2010. Just due to the fact of his name, Roy Halladay is in the CY Young race, but in terms of statistics he is behind the leading 4. In a May start against the Marlins, Halladay was also to blame for one of 20 perfect games in Major League history.

 

The AL CY Young contest is led by Tampa’s David Price. David Price of the Tampa Bay Rays is one more young pitcher getting a breakout year as a 2010 AL Cy Young Award prospect. All season, he has been dominating hitters. He has 11 victories and is 2nd in the league in ERA. It’ll be fascinating to see how he does in impending starts with the Rays in a slump. Advancing fast on Price is Seattle’s Cliff Lee. He has thrown three straight complete games including a win over the Yankees. The last few weeks, he has been the most prominent pitcher in baseball. He has a vulnerable team behind him but his popularity is as a big competition pitcher and he could overtake Price for the CY Young.

 

Also in the mix is Boston’s Jon Lester. Since his 1st couple of starts, Lester has been amazing. He has permitted 1 or no runs in nine of his last twelve starts. He was also titled the AL Pitcher of the Month for May. New York’s Andy Pettitte might also be a competitor since he pitches on 1 of the top hitting squads in the league.
