Sports fans looking to get into MLB betting can do so with the latest Fanatics Sportsbook promo code, which gives users up to $1,000 in FanCash. There are only seven games on the diamond for Thursday, August 14, but that doesn't mean bettors cannot take advantage of some intriguing matchups like Phillies vs. Nationals, Braves vs. Mets and Tigers vs. Twins. 

Explaining the Fanatics Sportsbook promo

You must be a new user of legal age in a state where Fanatics legitimately operates to be eligible for this promotion. The promotion runs for 10 days and covers your first wager each day.

You must make a minimum deposit of $10 and then place your first wager on any market with odds of -500 or longer. You can earn up to $100 in FanCash per day.

Fanatics Sportsbook terms and conditions

Fanatics issues FanCash in the amount of your first wager if your bet loses. You must opt into the promotion every day before placing the qualifying wager in order to be eligible for FanCash. In order to be eligible for the full $1,000, you'd have to bet $100 every day for 10 days. FanCash is issued within 72 hours of the wager settling as a loss. FanCash cannot be cashed out or withdrawn, and expires seven days after it is issued. If you win a wager using FanCash bonus funds, you'll get the winnings but not the stake.

What to bet on Thursday

Tarik Skubal (11-3, 2.35 ERA) will get the call for the Tigers as they begin a four-game series against the Twins, who took two out of three games from Detroit recently. Skubal gave up four runs in 4 2/3 innings in his last start but was lucky to escape with a no-decision. Bailey Ober (4-7, 5.16 ERA) will be on the bump for Minnesota, and he is coming off a loss in his last start despite giving up only one run in six innings. The Tigers are massive -211 favorites in the latest MLB odds at Fanatics, but the model backs the Twins on the money line as +171 underdogs. Bet Twins-Tigers at Fanatics here:

The Detroit Tigers have played .500 baseball over the last 10 games and have recovered from a recent six-game skid. They meet the Minnesota Twins Thursday to begin a four-game set Thursday and are hoping to get some revenge after losing two of three to Minnesota recently. Tarik Skubal (11-3, 2.35 ERA) gets the call for Detroit while the Twins counter with Bailey Ober (4-7, 5.16 ERA). The Tigers are sizable -211 favorites (wager $211 to win $100) on the money line in the latest SportsLine consensus odds, but the model is backing the Twins as +171 underdogs (wager $100 to win $171). Minnesota only wins in 36% of simulations but that's enough to bring value at these odds. Sign up for Fanatics to bet Tigers-Twins and more MLB here:
