Los Angeles Dodgers star pitcher Walker Buehler tops the list of starting pitchers most likely to lead MLB in wins in the 2022 season at +700, according to bookmaker Barstool Sportsbook.
The fact that he is the ace of the main favorite to reach the World Series is more than enough to be a strong contender for the 20 wins, coupled with the fact that Buehler is coming off a solid record of 16 wins and 4 losses, with an ERA of 2.47 and WHIP of 0.96.
After five years in the Major Leagues, the right-handed pitcher has become one of the most dominant starters in the National League, and even on a bad day he will surely have a chance to pull out the victory, considering that the fearsome lineup of the Californian team has star players such as Trea Turner, Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman.
Gerrit Cole of the New York Yankees ranks as the second most likely pitcher to have the most wins in 2022 at +800. While in the third position is Zack Wheeler of the Philadelphia Phillies with +850.
Rounding out the Top 5 on this list are New York Mets all-star pitchers Jacob deGrom and Max Scherzer.
Let’s remember that Mexico’s Julio Urias was the wins leader in the 2021 Major League Baseball campaign, after finishing the regular round with a 20-3 record, with a 2.96 ERA.
Walker Buehler’s MLB Numbers
It didn’t take long for Walker Buehler to live up to expectations on the Dodgers, and he is currently the leader of the rotation for Dave Roberts’ team, despite the presence of three-time National League Cy Young winner Clayton Kershaw.
In his MLB career, the American starter has a record of 40 wins and 13 losses, with an ERA of 2.90 and a WHIP of 1.00. In addition, he has a total of 632 strikeouts in 573.1 innings of work.
