1. Zac Gallen +190 (Last week: +210)Zac Gallen is establishing himself as one of the top arms in the NL and has continued to be the odds-on favorite to win the Cy Young as the end of June looms. The right-hander is coming off another dominant start against the Milwaukee Brewers, where he pitched seven innings and allowed just one earned run. Gallen started 16 games for the D-Backs in 2023, posting a 9-2 record, paired with a 2.84 ERA and 104 strikeouts. The 27-year-old has seen his odds rise from +210 to +190 over the last week.
Last Start: June 21 vs. Milwaukee Brewers (7IP, 3H, 1ER, 4SO)
Next Start: June 27 vs. Tampa Bay Rays
2. Clayton Kershaw +450 (Last week: +550)Age is just a number for Clayton Kershaw. The future Hall of Famer has gotten off to another solid start, posting a dominant 9-4 record with a 2.72 ERA and 103 strikeouts. In June, LA’s ace allowed just four earned runs over four starts, which has been a big reason why he’s continued to climb up the odds board. Kershaw boasts the second-shortest odds after getting bet down from +550 to +450.
Last Start: June 20 @ Los Angeles Angels (7IP, 5H, 0ER, 5SO)
Next Start: June 27 @ Colorado Rockies
3. (Tie) Logan Webb +700 (Last week: +950)Logan Webb is your guy if you’re looking for one of the more consistent starters in the National League over the last two seasons. The San Francisco Giants right-hander has brought electricity to the top of the club’s rotation, posting a 6-6 record, paired with a 3.11 ERA and 96 punchouts. Webb has had ups and downs in June after a dominant May, but he’s still seen his odds jump from +950 to +750 over the last week.
Last Start: June 18 @ Los Angeles Dodgers (7IP, 8H, 2ER, 5SO)
Next Start: June 23 vs. Arizona Diamondbacks
3. (Tie) Zack Wheeler +700 (Last week: +750)The Philadelphia Phillies are known for having a high-end top of the rotation led by right-hander Zack Wheeler. His elite fastball and breaking ball combination put him in a category amongst the game’s best starting pitchers. Wheeler has compiled a 6-4 record, a 3.48 ERA, and 98 strikeouts. After a scoreless appearance against the lowly Oakland Athletics, Wheeler has seen his odds bet down from +750 to +700.
Last Start: June 18 @ Oakland Athletics (6IP, 6H, 0ER, 4SO)
Next Start: June 25 vs. New York Mets
5. Spencer Strider +1200 (Last week: +750)One of the most dominant strikeout pitchers in the game is Atlanta Braves youngster Spencer Strider. Before his most recent start, the Braves flame thrower had been having a rough go on the mound, but he appeared to turn a corner against the Philadelphia Phillies. Even though Strider looked much better against the Phillies, he still saw his odds to win the NL Cy Young drop from +750 to +1200.
Last Start: June 20 @ Philadelphia Phillies (6IP, 8H, 1ER, 9SO)
Next Start: June 26 vs. Minnesota Twins
