As of June 10, MLB odds list Tarik Skubal and Paul Skenes as the clear AL and NL Cy Young favourites, respectively.
Here are the latest BetMGM sports betting odds for the AL and NL Cy Young awards.
MLB Cy Young Odds: 2025 AL & NL Betting Lines
Prediction: Who Will Win 2025 American League Cy Young Award?
Skubal is the favourite to win the 2025 American League Cy Young Award at -189, followed by:
- Max Fried, New York Yankees (+700)
- Hunter Brown, Houston Astros (+700)
I predict Skubal will win the AL Cy Young in 2025. He is by far the best pitcher in baseball and has been at his dominant best of late.

2025 AL Cy Young Favourites & Best Bets
Tarik Skubal AL Cy Young Odds -189
Skubal has moved from -175 to -189 to win the Cy Young Award over the last week. The southpaw has allowed one earned run over his last three starts.
In the 95th percentile in xERA and with the highest K/BB ratio in MLB history, Skubal is the best pitcher in the American League by a wide margin.
Max Fried AL Cy Young Odds +700
After allowing six earned runs to the Los Angeles Dodgers, Fried was back to his best with six, one-hit innings against the Cleveland Guardians.
Only two American League pitchers have a better pitching+ than the Yankees left-hander.
Hunter Brown AL Cy Young Odds +700
Brown has allowed two earned runs over his last three starts. He’s battled through some command issues (nine walks across his previous two outings) yet remains one of the best pitchers in baseball.
Sporting a 1.82 ERA, I am very tempted to back Brown at this price, having placed a wager on him before opening day.
Prediction: Who Will Win 2025 National League Cy Young Award?
Skenes is the current favourite to win the National League Cy Young Award at -167, followed by:
- Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Los Angeles Dodgers (+500)
- Zack Wheeler, Philadelphia Phillies (+900)
I predict Skenes will win the 2025 NL Cy Young Award because he has stood out from the pack over the last month with a string of six straight dominant outings.
2025 NL Cy Young Odds
| Player | NL Cy Young Odds | Opening Odds | Team |
| Paul Skenes | -167 | +400 | Pirates |
| Yoshinobu Yamamoto | +500 | +2500 | Dodgers |
| Zack Wheeler | +900 | +800 | Phillies |
| Logan Webb | +1300 | +2500 | Giants |
| Chris Sale | +1600 | +1100 | Braves |
| Robbie Ray | +2000 | +8000 | Giants |
| MacKenzie Gore | +2500 | +6600 | Nationals |
| Kodai Senga | +3000 | +3000 | Mets |
| Freddy Peralta | +4000 | +3000 | Phillies |
| Cristopher Sanchez | +4000 | +6600 | Phillies |
2025 NL Cy Young Favourites & Best Bets
Paul Skenes NL Cy Young Odds -167
BetMGM’s baseball odds had Skenes at +100 a week ago. His price has shortened dramatically to -167 after he’s allowed only four earned runs across his last six starts.
Wheeler and Spencer Schwellenbach are the only pitchers with a better pitching+ than Skenes this season. Over the last month, he has had a 0.85 ERA and a 1.89 FIP. If healthy, it’s his award to lose.
Yoshinobu Yamamoto NL Cy Young Odds +500
A favourite for this award a few weeks ago, the last seven days have seen Yamamoto fade from +300 to +500. The Japanese star has a 3.66 ERA over his last six starts.
I was expecting regression from Yamamoto. He has dropped off the pace being set by Skenes, and I think his odds are likely to lengthen further before the end of June.
Zack Wheeler NL Cy Young Odds +900
Allowing seven earned runs across his last two starts has led to Wheeler drifting from +650 to +900 to win the Cy Young Award.
Wheeler leads all NL pitchers in pitching+. He has consistently been among the league leaders in innings over the last few seasons. With a 2.41 xERA, he’s going to be in the mix for this award when votes are cast later this year.
