MLB 2026 National League Cy Young Winner Long Shot Prediction, Odds, Betting: Mason Miller, Paul Skenes, More
Vaughn Dalzell breaks down why Mason Miller is a great long shot bet to win Cy Young.
Two weeks into the MLB season and the betting market for the National League Cy Young award has seen some movement, including one long shot worth taking before it's too late and one favorite to dabble on. National League Cy Young Favorite: Paul Skenes (+350) The one bet I made in the preseason for NL Cy Young was Paul Skenes at +250 odds. After his disastrous opening day start against the Mets where he recorded 0.
2 innings on 37 pitches with four hits and five earned runs allowed, everything has been up hill for Skenes. Over the next two starts versus the Reds and Padres, Skenes posted a combined 11 1/3 innings, two earned runs, five hits allowed, 11 strikeouts to four walks, and most importantly, two wins. While his ERA is 5.
25 through three starts, that will continue dropping and likely finish below 3. 00 for the season after 1. 96 and 1.
97 his first two seasons. At the current price of +350, I went back to the well on Skenes to win NL Cy Young because of the value, but if we're talking value, time is running out for the best long shot in the market.
