- BetMGM bonus code CBSSPORTS offers new users $150 in bonus bets on a winning first bet, or up to $1,500 if the qualifying wager loses, with terms varying by location.
- The SportsLine Projection Model projects Over 6.5 total runs in Yankees-Red Sox Game 2 (a 61.7% simulation hit rate), as Boston turns to Max Fried after getting shut out by AL Cy Young favorite Cam Schlittler in Game 1.
- Padres are -135 moneyline favorites over the Cubs in Game 2, with SportsLine's Adam Thompson citing Nick Pivetta's 1.42 ERA over his last seven starts and San Diego's offense scoring 4+ runs in 11 of 12 games.
- R.J. White backs the Broncos (+3) over the 49ers on Sunday, citing San Francisco injuries to Nick Bosa, Mike Evans, and Trent Williams as the decisive factor in the line value.
- A three-pick Wednesday parlay at BetMGM Sportsbook combining all three wagers pays +464 ($100 risked profits $464), with odds subject to change.
- The SportsLine model enters the 2026 MLB playoffs 31-25 on top-rated money-line picks, returning more than $900 for every $100 wagered over that stretch.
Why it matters: The BetMGM $1,500 bonus-bet ceiling is the promotional hook, but the concrete value for bettors is the three-pick parlay paying +464 — a $100 wager profits $464 if all three SportsLine picks hit. The model's 31-25 MLB track record and R.J. White's injury-driven NFL reasoning give each pick stated justification beyond the promo wrapper, and the source explicitly notes the bonus maximum only triggers on a losing first wager.
