Can someone explain to my why Bryce Elder is +15000 for the cy young ?

[CHOPTALK]

WTF ks up with that ?

Currently throwing a shut out right now
If he wins today he’s 6-1 with a sub 2.50 ERA which is #2 in the NL

I understand him not being the fav or maybe not even top 3
But he’s not even in the top 20 in odds

I gotta put a few bucks on this

 

[Ladeda]

I've personally never heard of him. If non of the voters have heard of him either , he won't win

 

[Greenbacks]

Nice era 2.40
Only 5 wins
4 guys have 9 wins
Zac Gallen looking good

 

[Knightrofins]

Mustache man has more wins and strikeouts

The ERA is IMPRESSIVE

 

[CHOPTALK]

I’m not saying he should be #1

but there are a ton of names above him in the odds are aren’t close to the stats or elder

Kyle Wright is ahead of him and he only pitched 2 games all season and is on the IL till at least August

Max Fried is also above him .

Also injured

 

[CHOPTALK]

I don’t think wins is nearly as important of a stat as it use to be

analytics has pretty much proved the stat is not that important

I think Degrom won the CY a few years ago with only 12 wins

That was the year the Mets averaged less then 2 runs per his starts

 

[Greenbacks]

I'm looking at a list of 24
He's not on it
Fried is on it
Verlander is on it & he's been brutal.
Good luck

Yeah it’s crazy
2nd in the league in ERA on one of the best teams in baseball and he is not even listed as a betting option at some sports books

He pitched 7 innings of shutout baseball today

It was Burnes that had 12 wins and won it.. I had a nice wager on him and thought it was dead

Yea and he won easily

 

[Greenbacks]

Degrom won it with a 10-9 record

Degrom won it with a 10-9 record

wow, that's crazy.. Chop might be on to something.

 

[REDEYE]

The sportsbook I was just at had him only at 15/1. DK is 150/1.. thru a $20 spot down on it.

15-1 makes a lot more sense
I would still think it’s a decent bet at those odds

 

[Michelangelo]

Worth a bet even at 15-1. The guy is on track. He has to stay there. Whoever said they never heard of him will hear his name over and over if he continues to pitch like he has. And it doesn't hurt that he's pitching for a good Atlanta team.

[Greenbacks]

That's topbet
Didn't make the cut

 

[CHOPTALK]

150-1 is insane

Merril Kelly and Blake Snell also good value at +5000
Snell starting to look like his old self again . He already won the cy once before .
