Paul Skenes is in a dead heat with Shota Imanaga for the National League Rookie of the Year.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Pirates flamethrower is just a hair away from dethroning Imanaga, who has slowed down after a red-hot start for the Cubs, as the award favorite at BetMGM Sportsbook.<\/p>\n
As of Wednesday afternoon, Skenes is sitting at +165, barely behind Imanaga, who is +155 after more than a month at the top of the odds board.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Skenes has crashed the party with just six big league starts, although they were about as dominant as they can get.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The 2023 No. 1 draft pick has posted a 2.43 ERA over 33 \u2153 innings with a whopping 46 strikeouts, living up to the hype that has followed him since his days with the LSU Tigers.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Skenes\u2019 rise follows a rough stretch from Imanaga, who got off to a historic start in his first MLB season.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After recording an earned run average below 1.00 through six starts, Imanaga\u2019s ERA has jumped to 1.96, which is still second-best in the NL among qualified pitchers.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The race is shaping up to be a three-man one, with Dodgers pitcher and preseason favorite Yoshinobu Yamamoto right behind the pair at +350. <\/p>\n
No other player is better than 10\/1.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Skenes, though, has been the popular pick among the betting public.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The right-hander had attracted 20.1 percent of bets and 23.1 percent of the handle at BetMGM on Tuesday morning, both easily the best in the field.<\/p>\n
Those numbers likely grew even greater after his dominant start against the Cardinals on Tuesday afternoon.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Skenes threw 6 1\/3 scoreless innings of five-hit ball, striking out eight Cardinals with no walks in what was the second-best outing of his young career, behind the six no-hit innings threw against the Cubs a month ago.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
