Brandon Woodruff, the Milwaukee Brewers' starting pitcher, has been assigned +3500 odds to win the National League Cy Young Award for 2025, according to Fanduel Sportsbook. This means that a $100 bet on Woodruff could yield a profit of $3500 if he secures the award. Woodruff's odds come despite missing the entire 2024 season due to a shoulder injury, indicating confidence in his abilities.
At 31 years old, Woodruff boasts a career record of 46-26 with a 3.10 ERA and is a two-time All-Star. He previously ranked fifth in the Cy Young voting in 2021. His partnership with Corbin Burnes formed a formidable rotation for the Brewers until Burnes was traded to the Baltimore Orioles last offseason and later signed with the Arizona Diamondbacks.
The Brewers faced significant injury challenges last year, losing not only Woodruff but also Wade Miley and prospect Robert Gasser. Despite these setbacks, the team clinched the National League Central title but fell to the New York Mets in the wild card series. Woodruff, who signed a two-year deal prior to last season, will enter free agency at the end of the 2025 season.
