Here's what you should know about these two probability boards:
AL Injuries: When the season began, Detroit's Tarik Skubal was the favorite to win a third straight Cy Young. That's how dominant he has been. However, he was forced to undergo surgery to remove loose bodies from his throwing elbow and is now sidelined for months, opening the door for a new winner. Atop the board is the Yankees' Cam Schlittler, who is 5-1 in nine starts with a 1.35 ERA and 59 strikeouts. Keeping him company near the top of the board are Toronto's Dylan Cease (3-1, 2.41 ERA, 75 Ks) and Texas' Jacob deGrom (3-2, 2.62 ERA, 57 Ks).
The National League Race: Paul Skenes took home the award last season after leading all of baseball in ERA, and remains the favorite in the National League after opening the year atop the odds. Through seven starts, Pittsburgh's Skenes has a 6-2 record and a 1.98 ERA, 56 Ks and a 0.64 WHIP. However, this race is tightening, mainly due to the dominance of some top-tier pitching names, including the Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani, the two-time National League MVP. Ohtani was at +700 a little over a week ago, but in his last start, he allowed four hits to the Giants in seven innings, with eight strikeouts, two walks and no runs. On the year, in seven starts, he is 3-2 with a ridiculous 0.82 ERA, along with 50 Ks and a 0.82 WHIP.
