00:00We are taking a look here at some of the odds markets to win the Cy Young in the NL and

00:07also the Rookie of the Year.

00:08It's Chris Sale now as a decided favorite here.

00:10Minus $6.50 price at the FanBull Sportsbook, followed by Wheeler and Hunter Green.

00:15If we're looking at the National League Rookie of the Year markets here, it's Jackson Merrill

00:18at a minus $2.80 price, followed by Paul Skeens at a two-to-one price.

00:22Looks like the Cy Young Award is basically wrapped up in sales favor.

00:26That Merrill-Skeens intrigue down the stretch could just be Merrill's playing good baseball

00:32and will continue to play good baseball, and Skeens, maybe he doesn't even finish the season

00:36because the Pittsburgh Pirates hang it up for him.

00:40They're really not talking a lot about this at this point because we're still at the stage

00:43of the season, Donnie, where tickets are still sold in Pittsburgh.

00:48It's kind of hard right now at the end of August to say the last two weeks of the season

00:52you're not going to see Skeens pitch.

00:53The other thing that's really hurt him, I know it doesn't really matter in terms of

00:56metrics or stats or the way that people vote, but it is kind of crushing to see him go deep

01:00into these games and then the bullpen completely gives it up.

01:03And so I don't think that's helping his case at all.

01:05But again, it is still open.

01:08That race is still open.

01:09If, for some reason, Skeens was going toe-to-toe at the end of the season and Merrill was the

01:13slump over the next few weeks, these odds would get tighter.

01:15As far as Wheeler goes, yeah, I do think at this point it is open and shut.

01:19The funny thing to me is to see how deep the odds are for the third pitcher on that board

01:23was with Hunter Green being 55-1 and not pitching.

01:27So it just kind of tells you here at this point who is going to win the Cy Young.

01:30Yeah, it's going to be Sale in the end.
