Age is just a number for Clayton Kershaw. The future Hall of Famer has gotten off to another solid start, posting a dominant 10-4 record, a 2.55 ERA, and 105 strikeouts. Kershaw was downright filthy against the Colorado Rockies on June 27, allowing just one hit over six innings. With the elite consistency and numbers Kershaw has been marking down, he’s seen his odds to win the NL Cy Young bet down from +450 to +300.

One of the most dominant strikeout pitchers in the game is Atlanta Braves youngster Spencer Strider. After dealing with an injury and some inconsistencies, it looks as though Strider has found his elite stuff again. The powerful righty is coming off a dominant start against the Minnesota Twins, where he struck out ten batters over seven innings. Despite his recent dominance, Strider saw his odds to win the NL Cy Young fall off over the last week from +750 to +1200.

The 32-year-old righty is putting together a stellar campaign, leading to him inserting himself amongst the top five at +1200.
