Becoming a Full-Time Forex Trader: What It Really Takes Introduction The idea of becoming a full-time forex trader is appealing—financial freedom, flexible hours, and the ability to work from anywhere. But behind that vision lies a reality most traders underestimate: Trading full-time is not about making money quickly—it’s about building consistency over time. Many traders...

Six weeks into the MLB season, the landscape of the AL Central changed in an instant on Monday afternoon. Detroit Tigers pitcher and back-to-back Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal was scratched from his scheduled start on Monday night against the Boston Red Sox, followed by a report that he would undergo surgery for loose bodies in his left elbow. While Skubal is expected back by the end of the season, surgery is expected to keep the lefty ace out several months. Not only does this injury compromise the division-favorite Tigers for the foreseeable future, but it throws a huge curveball at anyone trying to predict who will win the American League Cy Young Award. Skubal entered the season with +400 odds to win the award, the shortest number of anyone on the board. To make things even more interesting in this race, consider the second favorite for AL Cy Young was Red Sox left-hander Garrett Crochet, who also finds himself on the injured list after an uncharacteristically shaky start to the season. Another preseason Cy Young hopeful, Minnesota Twins right-hander Joe Ryan, left his last start with elbow tightness and will require season-ending surgery. So, whos left?

A pair of New York Yankees, Cam Schlittler and Max Fried, are currently the favorites at +220 and +330, respectively, but those short numbers dont offer a ton of value. With so much time left and pitcher injuries being so prevalent, I wanted to target someone whose odds would offer more of a payout. Texas Rangers ace Jacob deGrom won the National League Cy Young Award twice in his time with the New York Mets, and currently has odds of +1300 entering his Tuesday night start against the red-hot Yankees. deGrom, through six starts, has a 2.01 ERA, a 0.96 WHIP, and an impressive 40 strikeouts to just seven walks. Health has to be a concern with deGrom, who missed a large chunk of the latter years of his Mets tenure due to injury, as well as much of the 2023 and 2024 seasons with the Rangers. But, since the start of last season, he has stayed healthy and flashed the durability he showed early in his career. Considering his pedigree and the number of injury-riddled aces throughout the rest of the American League, a dominant season could yield deGrom more hardware. There also might be a sentimental incentive to vote for the prolific ace, and reward him following all the injuries hes battled throughout recent years. deGrom is still an elite ace, and in what is now a wide-open race, I like him at 13-1 odds to win yet another Cy Young, this time in the American League. PICK: Jacob deGrom (+1300) to win AL Cy Young

So who will be lifting the trophy at the end of the week? Let's take a look at the odds at DraftKings Sportsbook as of May 5. This page may contain affiliate links to legal sports betting partners.

Spaun: +4500 (bet $10 to win $460 total)Justin Thomas: +4700 (bet $10 to win $480 total)Ben Griffin: +4800 (bet $10 to win $490 total)Nicolai Hojgaard: +4900 (bet $10 to win $500 total)Harris English: +4900 (bet $10 to win $500 total) Here is what to know about the oddsboard: The Favorites With Scheffler out of the field, McIlroy opens as the +580 favorite in his first start since winning his second green jacket. Just behind him is Cameron Young at +920. Young enters this event fresh off a win at last weeks Cadillac Championship and in the best form of his career. Over his last seven starts, he has recorded two wins (including The Players Championship) along with five top-10 finishes. That run includes a T-3 at The Masters, where he played in the final group alongside McIlroy. Best Outright Bets Xander Schauffele: +1150 (bet $10 to win $125 total) While Schauffele has yet to win this season, he has remained one of the most consistent top players on Tour. He owns four top-10 finishes this season and has placed inside the top 25 in each of his last seven starts. According to Data Golf, Schauffele has gained strokes on approach in 13 straight events, including more than two strokes at The Masters. His consistent ball striking suggests its a matter of when, not if, he wins this season, and this could be the ideal spot given his runner-up finishes at Quail Hollow in 2023 and 2024. Adam Scott: +3000 (bet $10 to win $310 total) Scott leads the PGA Tour in approach play this season, gaining strokes with his irons in every start. He has gained more than +1.5 strokes on approach in three of his last four events and has recorded two top-five finishes, including a T-4 at last weeks Cadillac Championship. While his putting has held him back from a huge season, there were very encouraging signs in his final round on Sunday, when he delivered his best putting performance of the season. If he carries that over to this week, he could be extremely dangerous. Patrick Cantlay: +3200 (bet $10 to win $330 total) Cantlay enters this week on a run of three straight T-12 finishes, including at The Masters, where he battled back from a +5 opening round and 65th place to make a weekend charge. He carried that momentum into the RBC Heritage, finishing T-8 despite losing nearly a stroke on the greens. If his putter can flip, watch out. Viktor Hovland: +3500 (bet $10 to win $360 total) Viktor Hovland is the definition of boom or bust. While hes had an underwhelming season by his standards, this course sets up very well for him. He finished T-3 here in his first career start in 2021 and has said the layout suits his game, especially with its length and emphasis on strong driving. He showed flashes at the RBC Heritage a few weeks ago, playing well early before fading over the weekend. Hes still working through some inconsistencies, but his upside is undeniable. Hovland is the type of player who can contend any given week, and at longer odds, he brings clear outright value.
