As a general rule, there are way too many names listed on the board for the Cy Young Award. National League voters have been a little more lenient than American League voters. As far as the AL Cy Young Award goes, every pitcher since 1994 has had either 20 wins or 200 strikeouts and a few guys have had both.

Remember, though, that 1994 was a strike year and that went to David Cone with a 16-5 record, a 2.94 ERA, and 132 K in 171.2 innings of work. Prior to that, you have to go back to 1992 when Dennis Eckersley won and then in 1984 when reliever Willie Hernandez won.

In other words, winning the award in the American League is very hard. You have strict criteria that you have to meet. Let’s look at the odds and then narrow the field down.

Here are the AL Cy Young Award odds per <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/5dimes"><strong>5Dimes Sportsbook</strong></a> as of February 20, 2020:

There were 24 pitchers that had at least 200 strikeouts last season. Only 10 were in the American League. They were Gerrit Cole, Justin Verlander, Shane Bieber, Lance Lynn, Charlie Morton, Matthew Boyd, Lucas Giolito, Chris Sale, Eduardo Rodriguez, and Mike Minor.

There are two pitchers, Mike Clevinger and Tyler Glasnow, that would have been on a 200-strikeout pace had they stayed healthy. Trevor Bauer also would have been, had he stayed with the Indians for the entire season.

In this era of strikeouts, only Rick Porcello (22 wins) in 2016 and Cliff Lee (22 wins) in 2008 have failed to get 200 strikeouts and win the Cy Young dating back to 2006. It is almost a prerequisite to winning the award. If not, you have to be on a really good team with the opportunity to get wins. Lee was the lone exception with the wins because the 2008 Indians were bad.

That narrows down the list a lot for us. We need guys that have 200-strikeout upside. If a guy like Jesus Luzardo at 225/1 or Frankie Montas at 100/1 could stay healthy enough to throw 170ish innings, they’d have a chance. Luzardo at 225/1 is about the only really big balloon number I would consider, but it would be a tall task to work that many innings.

Because of that, quite frankly, we’re left looking at a lot of short prices. A guy like Michael Kopech at 80/1 has the strikeout upside, but he is coming off of Tommy John and will likely be limited. Same with Lance McCullers Jr.

The longest price on the board with a shot at 200 K is Eduardo Rodriguez at 50/1, but it seems unlikely that he will have the wins or the ERA, since that is still an important stat in the minds of voters.

Enough beating around the bush, eh? Here are three Cy Young Award candidates to consider:

<strong>Charlie Morton (+2500) – </strong>Charlie Morton had everything you wanted in a Cy Young candidate last season. He struck out 240 in 194.2 innings. He had 16 wins and an ERA of 3.05. He also allowed the fewest home runs of any pitcher with at least 150 innings pitched. He was really special. The obvious worry here is for a setback in his age-36 season, but Morton had a 2.32 ERA with 142 K in 112.2 innings in the first half. A 68% LOB% in the second half hurt his ERA. His K% did fall to 28.8%, which still classifies as elite, but he got unlucky with runners on base.

Morton has the bullpen to get the wins. He has the team to get the wins. He has the strikeout upside. He could also have a pretty good story if he decides that this is his last season and looks to retire after the year. The voters may give him a nod as a result.

<strong>Mike Clevinger (+1600) – </strong>Mike Clevinger is going to miss a few starts in April and that is the concern. In all honesty, once we get a clearer picture of how much time he will miss, there is a good chance that his price goes up into the 25/1 range. At the very least, you’ll probably be able to find a better number than this.

When Blake Snell won the Cy Young Award in 2018, he only pitched 180.2 innings, so it can be done. Clevinger would need over 200 strikeouts, a good record, and probably a very good ERA. Snell’s ERA was 1.89. Clevinger had a 2.71 ERA over his 126 innings last season with 169 strikeouts. He actually struggled immediately following his return from the injured list. He allowed 12 runs in 6.1 innings.

From July 3 through the end of the season, Clevinger had a 2.17 ERA with 138 K in 107.2 innings of work. If we take away his last start, Clevinger allowed 20 runs in 16 starts from July 3 to September 24. There is a path for him to win the Cy Young, assuming he doesn’t miss too much time in April.

<strong>Chris Sale (+500) – </strong>In all honesty, this is Gerrit Cole’s award to lose. I don’t know if the Red Sox are going to be good enough or if Chris Sale is going to be healthy enough, but Sale will have the numbers. He only pitched 147.1 innings and struck out 218 batters. Sale should have won the award in 2017 with 308 strikeouts, but for some reason, he didn’t.

Sale was hurt by three things last season. Actual injury. Sequencing luck. Home runs. Sale was limited to 25 starts. He had a 66.7% LOB% that drove his ERA up to 4.40, despite a 3.39 FIP. His xFIP was 2.93. His HR/FB% ballooned to 19.5%. He was never really right last season.

I wouldn’t bet Sale at 5/1, but if you find a higher price in the 8/1 or 9/1 range, he’s worth it. He has a chance to really bounce back with a vengeance. I don’t know if he’ll have the wins on a mediocre Red Sox team, but he’s going to have the strikeouts and should have the ERA and FIP.

I have much better long shot options in the National League.

Cincinnati Bearcats vs Kansas State Wildcats NCAA Basketball Betting Pick & Prediction 12/30/24

Even though we are desperately hoping for things to go right during the COVID pandemic, it was nice to see something go left this past weekend. That something was the NASCAR Cup Series with its return race at Darlington. Kevin Harvick, who was the top pick from our write-up on the Darlington Raceway 400 was the winner. Let’s see if we can go that with the Xfinity Series this time around for the Toyota 200.

The Xfinity Series makes its return with some Tuesday night racing in Darlington, South Carolina, as long as Mother Nature approves. Rain is in the forecast throughout the week, but the hope is that racing can be completed.

The timing makes sense for Kyle Busch to make a stop on the Xfinity Series circuit. Busch failed pre-race inspection and had to start at the back of the pack for the Cup Series race on Sunday and never really looked all that comfortable en route to finishing 26th. Some extra laps around the track seem like a pretty good idea.

He’s the overwhelming favorite this week, which he would be anyway, but it certainly doesn’t hurt that he was able to get behind the wheel and get some reps in. He’s -135 with the next closest driver listed at +625.

Let’s check out the odds from <a href="http://bangthebook.com/sportsbooks/5dimes"><strong>5Dimes Sportsbook</strong></a> for the Toyota 200 and then figure out how we want to bet this one:

Starting positions were randomly drawn and Noah Gragson and Michael Annett get to start in the front row. Kyle Busch starts 26th, so he’ll have some ground to make up in order to cash at -135. Harrison Burton, the third favorite on the board, starts 12th. Chase Briscoe, the second favorite, also starts in the sixth row in 11th. There are 39 cars in the race and only nine are Toyotas for the Toyota 200.

February and early March were a little crazy, so I was a tad bit lax in my responsibilities to cover the Xfinity Series. Four races took place before the world went to hell and everything shut down. The race winners were Gragson, Briscoe, Burton, and Brandon Jones. Gragson won Stage 2 at Phoenix as well. Briscoe had another top-five finish at Daytona to go with his win at Las Vegas. Burton finished in the top five in all four races, finishing first at Fontana and second at Daytona and Phoenix. Jones led the most laps and won both stages at California before finishing 30th. He won the next week at Phoenix.

Justin Allgaier sits ninth in points, but had three stage wins before the abrupt halt to the year. He hasn’t finished higher than eighth this season. Austin Cindric, Ryan Sieg, and Justin Haley all had at least two top-five finishes in the first four races. Rookie Riley Herbst was second at Auto Club.

Now that you’re caught up, we can break this one down. The Lady in Black is a 1.366-mile oval with a big loopy curve at one end and a tighter, sharper curve at the other. Up until 2015, the Xfinity Series stop at Darlington was in the spring, but it moved to late summer when the schedule was changed around. This is going to be an extremely tough race for the drivers and the teams.

Assuming this one goes off as scheduled, it will be a night race. There are not many of those in the Xfinity Series. The drivers and the teams also have to navigate the very different ends of the track while not having practice or qualifying. We saw that play a big role in the Cup Series race and could see it play a big role here, too.

So, what do we do here? The reality is that Kyle Busch probably wins, but why bet him at -135 with so many unknowns and variables in this race. The chances of one of the other drivers taking him out seem a lot higher than usual.  If you ever wanted to take a long shot gamble in an Xfinity Series race, this is probably it.

There are some good drivers at bigger prices that are on my radar this week. One of them is Daniel Hemric at +2750. In 69 career races, Hemric has 40 top-10 finishes, but has never won. He didn’t run all of last year in the Xfinity Series. Now he is with a pretty good team in JR Motorsports. It hasn’t worked out to this point, but this is the type of time to take a guy like him. He’s an experienced driver that had 16 top-five finishes in 2018.

Austin Cindric is a guy to watch overall in the Xfinity Series and his price looks a bit high here at +1760. He is a great bet on road courses. Though this race isn’t, it will have some road course feel to it with everybody trying to get back in the swing of things and probably some tight, awkward racing. Cindric actually has six top-three finishes over his last 11 races dating back to last season. The 21-year-old has excellent backing with Team Penske and equipment could matter a lot here.

I’d be very careful with this race. The Cup Series was unpredictable enough, but this one could go a couple different ways. It could be controlled chaos or it could be a dominant win for Kyle Busch. I’ll look for option #1 and back Hemric and Cindric with some low-risk, high-reward wagers.

The Toyota 200 at Darlington Raceway will be on FS1 on Tuesday May 19 at 8 p.m. ET.

Major League Baseball (MLB) might not be the most popular sport in the world to wager on, but it still presents a really good betting option. MLB betting comes in many different forms, and this is a season that presents plenty of betting opportunities as well.

Major League Baseball was founded all the way back in 1876, but the league has obviously gone through some major changes since that time. Most of the major rules are still in place, but the way that the game is played is now much different.

There are currently 30 teams in MLB, and every team plays 162 games during the regular season. MLB games typically start at the end of March, or early April, and the World Series wraps up during the first week of November.

MLB teams are split up into leagues and divisions, but there is now more crossover games than ever before. The American League and National League now operate under the same basic rules, and that keeps things similar regardless of what league you are looking at.

Knowing the best MLB betting sites &amp; sportsbooks is also important if you plan to bet on MLB, and this article will explore that as well. By the time you are done reading this article, you should be ready to bet on baseball.
