It's nearly time to see which flamethrowers can etch their names in the MLB history books at the conclusion of the 2025 season.

Let's take a look at the odds for the AL and NL Cy Young Awards at DraftKings Sportsbook as of April 3.

Entering 2024, he was 23-27 all-time as a starter and had a career high of 164 strikeouts back in 2021. However, it's Garrett Crochet atop the oddsboard. He was last season's AL Comeback Player of the Year after returning from Tommy John surgery. Despite going just 6-12 as a member of the White Sox, he struck out a career-high 209 batters last season.
