Sports fans interested in MLB betting who are located in Massachusetts, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and West Virginia can use the latest BetMGM bonus code "CBSSPORTS" to secure $150 in bonus bets if their first bet of $10 or more wins for a loaded 15-game baseball slate on Monday, July 21. The day is headlined by the start of a pivotal series in the AL East between the New York Yankees and Toronto Blue Jays and the Milwaukee Brewers looking to extend their winning streak when they visit the Seattle Mariners.

Explaining the BetMGM Sportsbook promo

The "Bet $10, get $150 in bonus bets if your first bet wins" offer is available for new users located in Michigan, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. The offer is similar to promos available at competing sportsbooks.

First-time users of BetMGM outside of those states have a different offer available to them. New users in other states can get up to $1,500 in bonus bets under the promotion available to them.

The BetMGM promo code covers a user's first bet with up to $1,500 in bonus bets, which is the largest amount being given out across top sportsbook promos. However, a user would have to wager at least $1,500 to be eligible for the full amount, which is a large investment in comparison to promotions at FanDuel, DraftKings and bet365, which give users $150 in bonus bets after wagering $5 or more. 

Bettors interested in the promotion must make a minimum deposit of $10 before placing the qualifying wager but there is no minimum odds requirement. Users can bet on any MLB market on Monday regardless of the odds under BetMGM's offer. Bonus bets are issued if a user's first bet loses.

If you lose your first wager, BetMGM will credit you with a bonus bet. If the wager is under $50, you will receive a single bonus bet in that amount. If the wager is $50 or more, you will receive five bonus bets slips of equal amounts. For example, if you wagered $100 and lost, you would receive five $20 bonus bet slips. Bonus bets cannot be cashed out or withdrawn, and they expire in seven days. 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, which will redirect you to BetMGM.
  2. Register your account by entering all required information. Use the promo code "CBSSPORTS."
  3. Make a minimum deposit of $10.
  4. Make your first bet under the promotion. There's no minimum odds requirement.

What to bet on Monday

The Yankees and Blue Jays are in a tight division race ahead of the trade deadline, which means this series could play a factor in how both teams operate. New York comes into the opener off a 4-2 win over Atlanta and sends Carlos Rodon (10-6, 3.08 ERA) to the bump. Rodon was awesome in his last start, throwing eight scoreless innings in a win over the Chicago Cubs. The Blue Jays counter with Kevin Gausman (6-7, 4.19 ERA). Gausman was roughed up a bit in his last outing, giving up four runs on five hits in five innings against the Athletics. The Yankees are slight -120 favorites (wager $120 to win $100) on the money line in the latest SportsLine consensus odds but the model likes the Blue Jays at +100 (wager $100 to win $100), who win in 48% of simulations to bring value at these odds.

Despite winning their last 10 games and most recently sweeping the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Brewers are +100 underdogs in the latest SportsLine consensus odds against the Mariners on Monday. Milwaukee sends Brandon Woodruff (1-0, 2.61 ERA) to the mound in this one. The starting pitcher missed the first three months of the season but has done well in July, giving up only three runs in 10 1/3 innings. The Mariners are going with George Kirby (4-4, 4.50 ERA), who has won his last three starts. The SportsLine Projection Model likes the Mariners as -121 home favorites (wager $121 to win $100), as they win in 56% of simulations.
