Sports fans looking to wager on Wednesday's MLB and WNBA action can do so with the latest BetMGM bonus code CBSSPORTS. BetMGM is running two promotions depending on which state you reside in. There were some pivotal early contests in Wednesday's 15-game MLB slate ahead of the trade deadline, but the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers are hoping to keep some momentum going in the evening portion of the schedule. The Yankees surged past the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday to maintain the top spot in the AL Wild Card standings, while the Dodgers have won two in a row and send Shohei Ohtani to the mound against the Cincinnati Reds. On the hardwood, the Minnesota Lynx host the New York Liberty in what could be a WNBA Finals preview. Click here to get the latest BetMGM bonus code for new users and take advantage of one of the top sportsbook promos:

Explaining the BetMGM Sportsbook bonus code

If you reside in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, West Virginia or Michigan, you have access to the "Bet $10, Get $150 in bonus bets" promotion at BetMGM. This is similar to promotions at other top sportsbooks, though they are giving out bonus bets after a $5 wager.

For other new BetMGM users, the platform is offering up to $1,500 in bonus bets with the promo code CBSSPORTS. Users have their first wager covered in bonus bets under this offer. You have to wager at least $1,500 with that first bet to be eligible for the full amount of bonus bets. If you wager less than $50 and the bet loses, you will receive a single bonus bet in that amount. If you wager $50 or more and the wager loses, you will receive five bonus bet slips of equal value. For example, if you wager $100 and lose, you will get five $20 bonus bet slips.

Bonus bets expire in seven days. They cannot be cashed out or withdrawn. If you win a wager using bonus bets, you will receive the winnings but not the stake.

How to claim the BetMGM bonus code

Here's how to sign up for the BetMGM offer. You must be a new user 21 or older in a state where BetMGM operates. 

  1. Click "Claim Bonus" on this page. It will take you to BetMGM.
  2. Register your account by entering all required information. Use promo code CBSSPORTS.
  3. Make a $10 minimum deposit.
  4. Make your first wager through the promotion. There's no minimum odds requirement.

What to bet on Wednesday

Ohtani has slowly started pitching more innings in each outing, going three frames in each of his last two starts. After slumping into the All-Star break, the Dodgers appear to have regained their footing as they got healthier. Los Angeles is a -167 favorite (wager $167 to win $100) on the money line according to the latest SportsLine consensus odds but the model is backing the Reds as +140 underdogs (wager $100 to win $140). Cincinnati wins in 50% of simulations to bring value at these odds. 

Wednesday represents the first meeting of the season between the Liberty and Lynx, who are set to play three games in a row against each other in August. New York has lost its last two games but had won five in a row prior to those setbacks. The Lynx were on a four-game winning streak before a close loss to the Atlanta Dream on Sunday. WNBA expert Max Meyer has a pick on the spread for this game among his best bets for Wednesday's WNBA matchups.
