AL Cy Young odds analysis
Tarik Skubal remains the AL Cy Young favorite after giving up three runs over seven innings last time out, but his odds are slowly shortening.
Garrett Crochet continues to inch closer to favorite status after giving up just one run over seven frames of work in his last start. He still has some ground to make up, but books are starting to have a little doubt in Skubal as we approach September.
As for the biggest jump, that honor goes to Astros' hurler Hunter Brown, who saw his odds get slashed from +5500 to +2000 at DraftKings.

NL Cy Young analysis
Paul Skenes is almost at .500, and put together yet another solid outing for the Pirates. He gave up two earned but struck out eight batters on a Blue Jays lineup that leads MLB in OBP. This is still his award to lose according to the books.
