Ubaldo Jimenez of the Colorado Rockies is a man on a mission. MLB betting enthusiasts looking to pick a CY Young winner should have this man at the top of their list. As the staff ace of the Colorado Rockies, Jimenez faces a significant amount of pressure. Staff aces in baseball, are usually the leaders of the club, and are expected to win a minimum of 20 games. In the National League West, Jimenez is facing some of the best hitters in the game today as Manny Ramirez and Andre Ether in Los Angeles and Mark Reynolds of the Diamondbacks, lead not only the division, but the league in home runs and runs batted in on an annual basis. As well, as the staff ace, Jimenez is matched against the best pitchers in the league, from "The Freak" Tim Lincecum, to Roy Halladay.

However baseball betting enthusiasts Jimenez is the man you should pick to be the 2010 CY Young winner, as he has already thrown a no hitter, is the first pitcher in the entire MLB to win 10 games before June and only looks to be getting stronger as the season continues. The last MLB pitcher to win 10 games around the beginning of June is currently in the Hall of Fame, and the way Jimenez has been pitching thus far, fans and betters alike should expect Jimenez to be in the Hall by the time he finishes his career in 10 to 12 years.

Last night, Jimenez faced current NL CY Young winner "The Freak" Tim Lincecum in a game in which Jimenez's team the Rockies were able to light up 'the Freak' for four runs, as they cruised to the four to nothing victory. Lincecum only lasted five and two thirds innings while Jimenez the future CY Young winner pitched the entire game scattering only four hits over the nine innings while striking out nine. Jimenez overall record is 10 wins and one loss and he is on pace for a record of 32 wins three losses and a 0.78 earned runs average. Can we just give him the CY Young this year?
