When betting on MLB, many sports bettors simply look at the pitching matchup in a specific game. Now that we’re almost a third of the way through the 2023 MLB season, there’s enough data to sway MLB odds one way or another, depending on who is on the mound that day.
You can bet on these pitchers night in and night out on the best sports betting sites, but looking at their MLB futures in the Cy Young Award markets could be a great way to cash in on their early-season success.
Here’s a look at the top MLB pitchers entering the summer, as well as their outlooks for the rest of the season.
Spencer Strider, Atlanta Braves
The NL Cy Young is currently a two-horse race, led by Spencer Strider. His strikeout numbers are eye-popping, but the rest of his pitching stats are pretty darn good too.
Strider leads MLB in strikeouts (97), K/9 (15.1) and strikeout percentage (41.5%). Atlanta’s ace has also allowed just 6.1 hits per nine innings, which is the lowest mark in the NL. His 2.97 ERA, and even better 2.28 FIP, put the right-hander among the best of the best in the Majors.
The 24-year-old is clearly enjoying an outstanding sophomore season, putting him in the driver’s seat to win the Cy Young, after falling just short in the NL Rookie of the Year voting last season.
Zac Gallen, Arizona Diamondbacks
