Through five starts, Dylan Cease has proven to be a strong offseason acquisition for the Blue Jays, but the team’s poor performance has hindered his early AL Cy Young Award prospects. On Monday, he struck out 12 Angels batters in five innings, leading the majors with 44 strikeouts and posting a 2.10 ERA. Despite his impressive stats, Cease’s odds for the award are +1000, behind favorite Tarik Skubal. To secure Cy Young consideration, the Blue Jays must improve their record, as wins are crucial for the award.
