00:00very short favorite to win National League Cy Young Award.
00:03That's Paul Skeens entering year number two
00:05of his Major League Baseball career.
00:08A two to one price.
00:10He is a third of everybody else around the National League
00:14and then some.
00:15Last year's reigning National League Cy Young winner
00:18on your screen right there, Chris Sale in Atlanta.
00:20A 13 to one price sandwiched in between.
00:23Zach Wheeler in Philly.
00:25Blake Snell plus 8.50 now with the Dodgers.
00:28Is Skeens getting a tad too much respect?
00:32Is his number a little bit too short to win Cy Young?
00:36I don't think so.
00:37Like you saw how electric he was last year.
00:39So the expectation is coming back
00:40maybe even a little bit bigger and a little bit stronger
00:42and understand how to pitch in Major League Baseball.
00:44That's gonna be a fun season.
00:46But again, it's a power pitcher.
00:48It's a two to one price.
00:49Injuries do happen.
00:50You wanna tie that money up here?
00:51But as I talked about the American League,
00:53like, hey man, where'd all the superstars go?
00:55Yeah, they all found themselves in the National League.
00:57Skeens, Wheeler, Snell, Sale, Burns, Yamamoto,
01:00King, Cease, Gallon, Glasnow.
01:02Like you got Spencer Strider who's coming back this year
01:05at a 30 to one.
01:05If he was never injured, he's probably a minted
01:08maybe Cy Young from even last year alone at this point.
01:10And even sort of sliding it down,
01:12like the Sonny Grays and the Hunter Greens,
01:14a lot of power pitchers here on there.
01:16But if you are saying, Donnie,
01:17plus 100 prices across the board,
01:19who do you think is gonna win the Cy Young?
01:20Why wouldn't it be Paul Skeens?
01:22Like every time out you expect eight, nine, 10, 11, 12
01:25strikeouts plus.
01:26And also he is a younger pitcher.
01:28So when you look at maybe a Zach Wheeler,
01:30who is phenomenal by every stretch,
01:32maybe the best free agent signing,
01:34which includes Bryce Harper in the history
01:36of Phillies baseball,
01:37he's been nothing short of sensational,
01:39but he is getting a little bit older as well.
01:41Blake Snell, how's he gonna hold up being a Dodger?
01:43Because quite frankly, is Blake Snell
01:45even gonna lose a baseball game
01:46if he doesn't go to South Town today?
01:47Snell's on the mound today with a full lineup behind him.
01:50How does he lose any games?
01:51Particularly being in a pitcher's ballpark in Los Angeles,
01:54which also means that pitcher's ballpark
01:56up in San Francisco,
01:57we're gonna play so many of your games there
01:59this year, both home and away.
02:01There are a lot of different,
02:01the one guy I'm not gonna take to be honest is Chris Sale.
02:04I don't wanna say it was a lightning in a bottle season
02:06where he caught some of that flashback from five years ago
02:08when he was more dominant pitchers in baseball.
02:10But if there's one guy I'm not betting, let's just say,
02:12in the first 10 spots here on the FanDuel Sportsbook,
02:15it's not gonna be Chris Sale again, to be honest.
