- BetMGM bonus code CBSSPORTS offers new users $150 in bonus bets if their first bet wins, or up to $1,500 if the qualifying wager loses, with the offer varying by location.
- Yankees are -137 money line favorites over the Red Sox in Game 2 of the MLB Wild Card Round on Wednesday, after New York shut out Boston in Game 1 behind Ben Rice's grand slam in a nine-run, 12-hit performance.
- The SportsLine Projection Model projects Over 6.5 total runs in Yankees-Red Sox at a 61.7% simulation rate, noting Boston's Sonny Gray allowed three runs including two homers in his lone start at Yankee Stadium this year.
- Padres are -135 to beat the Cubs, with SportsLine's Adam Thompson citing Nick Pivetta's 1.42 ERA over his last seven starts and San Diego's offense tallying four-plus runs in 11 of 12 games.
- Broncos are +3 underdogs against the 49ers on Sunday, with SportsLine's R.J. White flagging 49ers injuries to Nick Bosa, Mike Evans, and Trent Williams as making the line poor value for a 'playoff-caliber' Denver squad.
- Combining the three featured picks into a Wednesday parlay yields a +464 payout (risk $100 to profit $464), and the SportsLine model enters the 2026 MLB playoffs on a 31-25 run on top-rated money-line picks.
Why it matters: A new bettor who maxes the $1,500 bonus on the featured +464 three-leg parlay (Yankees-Red Sox Over 6.5, Padres ML, Broncos +3) could turn the promo into roughly $8,460 in profit if all three legs hit — but the parlay strings together three independent outcomes across two sports, and the model's cited 31-25 record is a modest .554 winning percentage being marketed as a hot streak.
