Detroit Tigers ace Tarik Skubal and Pittsburgh Pirates right-hander Paul Skenes remain the betting favorites to win their respective Cy Young Awards in 2026 after each doing so in 2025.
Some players have changed leagues, notably Dylan Cease signing with the Toronto Blue Jays and Sonny Gray getting dealt to the Boston Red Sox, but most of the names listed have stayed the same.
However, we are still waiting for pitchers like Framber Valdez to find new homes, while the Milwaukee Brewers are continually rumored to be entertaining a trade of ace Freddy Peralta.
Let's look at the latest MLB odds for the 2026 MLB Cy Young races.
