Reid Detmers No-Hitter Immediately Gives Him Betting Value to Win AL Rookie of the Year

The first individual no-hitter of the 2022 MLB season came from an unlikely source.

Los Angeles Angels rookie pitcher, Reid Detmers, blanked the Tampa Bay Rays on May 10th. He walked only one hitter on his way to a 12-0 win for the Angels.

It was only his 11th start of his MLB career and his sixth of the season. The performance lowered his season ERA to 3.77. It now immediately moves him into the conversation for American League Rookie of the Year.

Here are the top 10 odds to win AL Rookie of the Year, via WynnBET Sportsbook.

AL Rookie of the Year Odds

• Bobby Whit Jr. +350
• Steven Kwan +400
• Julio Rodriguez +450
• Joe Ryan +500
• Spencer Torkelson +600
• Jeremy Pena +650
• Adley Rutschman +1000
• Matt Brash +1200
• Reid Detmers +2000
• Shane Baz +2000

Reid Detmers Has Value at +2000

There's no doubt in my mind that Reid Detmers presents the best value on the board to win AL ROY at +2000 (bet $100 to win $2,000). I'll admit it, I might be biased due to betting on him before the year started, but I stand by it.

Sure, his 3.77 is solid, but what is even better is his WHIP of 0.839. In the small sample size of only six starts this season, a five ER start against the Rangers is hurting his ERA, but if he keeps racking up starts like this, that number is going to drop in a hurry.

The offensive players, like Julio Rodriguez and Spencer Torkelson, might be sexier bets. But there's certainly no other player who presents as much value from a betting perspective as the Angels rookie arm.
