Baseball moves into the summer months, and Justin Verlander (+450) tops the American League Cy Young odds on FanDuel Sportsbook.

A number of frontline pitchers are in the race, including Kevin Gausman (+650) and Shane McClanahan (+1100), who leads the AL with 81 strikeouts. They have been moving up steadily since the start of the season and are Cy Young contenders alongside two-time runner-up Gerrit Cole (+700).

Lefty Nestor Cortes (+1100) has been the biggest mover in recent weeks. His MLB stats feature a 1.70 ERA; that's second in the AL just ahead of Alek Manoah (1.77). Cortes is holding hitters to a league-low .175 batting average, just in front of Verlander and McClanahan.
