- BetMGM bonus code CBSSPORTS gives new users $150 in bonus bets if their first wager wins or up to $1,500 if the qualifying bet loses, with availability varying by location
- SportsLine's model projects the Over 6.5 total runs in Yankees-Red Sox Game 2 at a 61.7% simulation hit rate, betting that Boston's offense rebounds against Max Fried after being shut out by Cam Schlittler in Game 1
- SportsLine expert Adam Thompson backs Padres (-135) over the Cubs, citing Nick Pivetta's 1.42 ERA across his last seven starts and a San Diego offense that has scored 4+ runs in 11 of 12 games
- SportsLine expert R.J. White is taking Broncos (+3) at the 49ers on Sunday, pointing to San Francisco injuries including Nick Bosa, Trent Williams, and Mike Evans as making the line too short for a playoff-caliber Denver squad
- The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every MLB game 10,000 times and enters the 2026 MLB playoffs on a 31-25 run on top-rated money-line picks, per the article
- Combining all three picks into a BetMGM parlay produces a +464 payout (risk $100 to profit $464), according to the article
Why it matters: The $1,500 backstop on a losing first bet gives new BetMGM users a low-risk entry point specifically tied to the highest-profile games on Wednesday's and Sunday's slate — Yankees-Red Sox Game 2, the Cubs-Padres elimination game, and Broncos-49ers. SportsLine's model is running hot on MLB moneylines (31-25, returning $900 per $100 wagered), and the 49ers' mounting injury list is the kind of concrete factor that could move the line further before kickoff.
