Former LSU pitcher is a finalist for the Cy Young Award

Kevin Gausman seems to be aging like fine wine as he is pitching at an elite level for the Toronto Blue Jays.

[autotag]Kevin Gausman[/autotag] has been in the MLB for 11 years and has played for five different teams as he is on the cusp of turning 33 years old in January. Gausman seems to be aging like fine wine as he is pitching at an elite level for the Toronto Blue Jays.

Gausman joins Sonny Gray of the Twins and Gerrit Cole of the New York Yankees as the three finalists for the AL Cy Young Award.

Gausman had a phenomenal regular season for the Blue Jays as he finished with a 12-9 record and a 3.16 ERA in 31 starts. He struck out a career-high 237 hitters and walked 55 hitters in 185 innings. He made an appearance for the Blue Jays in the playoffs but it did not go well.

He started against the Twins in the Wild Card and only went four innings as he gave up three runs on three hits. He struck out five hitters and walked three.

Sports Betting Futures: World Series, MVP and Cy Young odds entering June

MLB futures odds entering June.

Don’t look now, but here come the New York Yankees. As we enter the third month of the baseball season, the Bronx Bombers have jumped ahead of their AL East rivals in Toronto for the second-shortest World Series odds. The only team ahead of New York are the Los Angeles Dodgers, who continue to roll.

The Yankees’ rise is accompanied by improved MVP odds for slugger Aaron Judge. They’ve gone from +2000 entering May to +350 entering June, the second-shortest of any AL player. Shohei Ohtani remains the favorite.

Below is a full picture of those award and World Series odds, via Tipico Sportsbook.
