Tarik Skubal won his arbitration case with the Detroit Tigers and will earn $32 million in 2026. The Tigers also ponied up for fellow left-hander Framber Valdez, with a three-year, $115-million contract.
Detroit now has the betting favorite to win the AL Cy Young and another pitcher considered a realistic contender.
Meanwhile, the odds haven't shifted on the National League side of things, except for Atlanta Braves right-hander Spencer Schwellenbach dropping off the board after he was placed on the 60-day injured list with an elbow injury.
Let's look at the latest MLB odds for the 2026 MLB Cy Young races.
