MLB Opening Day is near, and bettors are diving into the odds for the 2024 season.

World Series futures and teams’ win totals are just a couple of markets where fans can place their wagers from now until November.

Other exciting spots for baseball bettors to dig their heels into are the odds for both the AL and NL Cy Young awards.

In 2023, New York’s Gerrit Cole won the AL Cy Young, making him the sixth Yankee to earn the honor. With a unanimous vote, he edged out the likes of Toronto’s Kevin Gausman and Minnesota’s Sonny Gray.

In the NL, lefty Blake Snell won the Cy Young. His 2023 trophy marked the second time Snell won a Cy Young; in 2018, he took home the hardware in the AL.

Five breakout pitchers for MLB’s 2024 season

According to FOX Sports MLB analyst Ben Verlander, Detroit’s Tarik Skubal is one to watch in the AL.

“Skubal has all the elements in place for a breakout 2024. He’s a left-hander whose fastball can hit triple digits. He’s been lights out so far in spring training. His advanced metrics were off the charts last year, thanks in no small part to that incredible strikeout-to-walk ratio.

“Unfortunately, injuries limited Skubal to just over 80 innings, but if he stays healthy this year, I believe he is a Cy Young contender.”
