AL Cy Young Odds: Lance Lynn Stretches Lead as Favorite at FanDuel Sportsbook


Chicago White Sox veteran pitcher Lance Lynn got roughed up a bit in the wildly popular Field of Dreams Game against the New York Yankees. But Lynn's baseball cap from that game is heading to the Hall of Fame along with several other White Sox items following the South siders dramatic 9th inning walkoff win played in the cornfields of Iowa.
The MLB Hall of Fame collected a few items from tonight's game in Dyersville. Among them:
— Tommy Birch (@TommyBirch) August 13, 2021
-Tim Anderson's spikes.
-Eloy Jimenez's jersey.
-Lance Lynn's cap.
Lynn's American League Cy Young lead recently increased with teammate Carolos Rodon going on the 10-day injured list. New York Yankees ace Gerrit Cole has been out two weeks (COVID-IL), and could return next week looking to resume his early season success and spin rate.

Can’t believe the American League Cy Young will most likely come down to Gerrit Cole and Lance Lynn.
Lynn, 34, has never received a Cy Young vote in his career. Despite a slight rise in his ERA following the Field of Dreams Game, he still leads the American League with a 2.26 ERA. Next is Robbie Ray (2.88) of the Toronto Blue Jays, whose odds surged from +3000 just last week and was more than twice those odds late last month.
Here's a look at the top pitchers according to the American League Cy Young odds on FanDuel Sportsbook.
