The usual suspects, Tarik Skubal and Paul Skenes, are holding firm atop their respective leagues as betting favorites to win Cy Young awards in 2026.
However, there has been some intriguing movement, both in terms of trades and odds. MacKenzie Gore went from the Washington Nationals to the Texas Rangers via trade, and from +2000 to win the NL Cy Young to +4000 in the Junior Circuit.
The Milwaukee Brewers finally traded Freddy Peralta (to the New York Mets), and he’s now +3000, which is equal to his former Brew Crew teammates, Brandon Woodruff and Jacob Misiorowski.
With Framber Valdez the biggest pitching domino left to fall, he’s the last remaining free-agent arm who will likely crack either board upon his signing.
Let’s look at the latest MLB odds for the 2026 MLB Cy Young races.
