Why Evan is betting Luis Severino for NL Cy Young winner: 'The door is open'

Luis Severino looked strong again on Wednesday, as he tossed four innings of one-run ball and touched the high 90s on his fastball as he works his way back from an awful season with the Yankees in 2023.

Severino, at his peak, was a consistent Cy Young candidate in the Bronx, and Evan says there is value in betting the righty to win the award in his first season with the Mets.


"I have placed a bet. It's done. It's happening," Evan said. "200/1. Placed a $50 bet, which means I will win $10,000 if it happens.

"You know why you don't hate the bet? It's open, dude. Zack Wheeler? I guess. Max Fried? I guess. Blake Snell, Corbin Burnes, or Sandy Alcantara ain't walking through that door."

Sure, it's a long shot, but Evan says there are no clear favorites in the National League to win the Cy Young, so why not take a low-risk, high-reward bet on Severino?

"If Luis Severino can just recapture the magic in a walk year," Evan said. "The door is open."
