Justin Verlander Next Team Odds

The Mets are given +350 odds, or an implied 22.2% chance to land Verlander. Their biggest competition is expected to be their crosstown rivals, the New York Yankees. The Yankees are given +400 odds, or an implied 20% chance to land the likely AL Cy Young winner and pair him back with his old Astros teammate Gerrit Cole.

Of course, New York teams aren’t the only ones with their eyes on future Hall of Famer. Six teams are given better than a 10% chance to land Verlander, including the Dodgers, Phillies, and Braves. Interestingly, sportsbooks don’t believe the Texas Rangers are much of a threat to land Verlander, as they’re given just +1600 odds to do so.

Justin Verlander will have a robust market, with almost every contender vying for his signature. That is why 6 teams are given at least a 10% chance to sign him, not including the Astros potentially re-signing him. The Mets are out in front for now, likely because of the deep pockets of Steve Cohen that could allow them to outbid everyone else for ageless wonder.
