One of the top free-agent pitchers on the market this offseason is Houston Astros lefty Framber Valdez. The ace starter, who has received Cy Young votes in four different seasons, is a two-time MLB All-Star and won the World Series with the Astros in 2022. With Valdez now about to test the free-agent market for the first time, Bookies.com veteran oddsmaker Adam Thompson has put together hypothetical Framber Valdez next team odds for where the pitcher will end up to start in 2026 and beyond.

Team	Odds	Implied Probability (%)
Toronto Blue Jays	+350	22.2
New York Mets	+450	18.2
Houston Astros	+500	16.7
San Francisco Giants	+500	16.7
Baltimore Orioles	+800	11.1
San Diego Padres	+850	10.5
Atlanta Braves	+1200	7.7
The Field	+750	11.8

This hypothetical MLB betting market is for entertainment purposes only and does not reflect any market that may be available on betting sites and betting apps.

Toronto Blue Jays (+350)

The Toronto Blue Jays lost the World Series in seven games to the Los Angeles Dodgers in truly heartbreaking fashion as the team coughed up a late lead to lose Game 7 and the sport’s ultimate prize. The Blue Jays could lose several of the team’s starting pitchers in free agency this offseason, making signing someone like Valdez a priority. Money shouldn’t be a barrier for the Blue Jays, who have no problem spending money after a long playoff run. The Jays should be among the favorites for 2026 MLB wagering at the best online sportsbook sites.

New York Mets (+450)

The New York Mets missed the playoffs this year, and you know that owner Steve Cohen is going to want to spend his way out of the hole and get back to the postseason. Bringing in an ace like Valdez would help the Mets get back to the promised land and make a World Series run.

Houston Astros (+500)

The Houston Astros have been Valdez’s home for the past eight seasons, and the team has had plenty of success during this period. The Astros would be smart to keep Valdez in the fold, though they could be outbid for him in free agency as other teams figure to be interested.

San Francisco Giants (+500)

The San Francisco Giants were a disappointment last year as the team missed the playoffs. They need to improve both their lineup and pitching staff, and bringing in a proven winner such as Valdez would certainly help the Giants out in their quest to make it back to the postseason.

Baltimore Orioles (+800)

The Baltimore Orioles were incredibly disappointing in 2025 and the team definitely needs to add to its pitching staff if it is going to sniff a postseason spot next year. The Os could use someone like Valdez, who would soak up innings at the top of the team’s pitching staff.

San Diego Padres (+850)

The San Diego Padres lost in the NLDS to the Chicago Cubs in October and the team needs to improve if it wants to go deeper into the postseason next year. Signing someone like Valdez, who would strengthen the Padres pitching staff, would go a long way toward that.

Atlanta Braves (+1200)

The Atlanta Braves were one of the most disappointing teams in MLB this year. To get back to the postseason, the Braves need to improve both their lineup and their pitching staff. Signing someone like Valdez, who is a proven ace-level starter, would certainly help the Astros out.

The Field (+750)

Every team in MLB needs pitching, so expect Valdez to get offered big money by many of the league’s teams, making the field a potential option for him to sign. At DraftKings Sportsbook, the Dodgers are the 2026 World Series favorites at +370 odds to make it a three-peat atop the MLB world.
