The odds at DraftKings Sportsbook for the American League Cy Young race have shifted quite a bit in recent weeks as Justin Verlander, Dylan Cease and Shane McClanahan have been battling it out for the prestigious pitching award. On Tuesday night, Verlander and Cease faced one another and had mixed results, both allowing three earned runs in a game that ended in a 4-3 White Sox victory. The game didn't appear to move the needle in either pitcher's direction, but the odds have clearly been trending towards Verlander and Cease and away from McClanahan over the last few weeks. Here are the odds as of August 18:
Justin Verlander (Astros) -190
Dylan Cease (White Sox) +225
Shane McClanahan (Rays) +900
Shane McClanahan was the favorite to win AL CY Young like 10 days ago and he probably has a 10% chance at best right now
