Bettors looking to place wagers on today’s American League Championship Series and National League Championship Series games have several sportsbook promotions to choose from, along with specific prop bets tied to pitching matchups and player history.
Fanatics Sportsbook is offering new users a promo code, FOXNEWS350, that provides $350 in bonus bets for a $20 wager placed on any game. One recommended bet under this promotion is Cleveland Guardians starting pitcher Gavin Williams going under 6.5 strikeouts. Williams has struck out 24 batters in 11.2 innings this postseason, but those outings came against a young and impatient Chicago White Sox lineup. Against the Tampa Bay Rays, Williams has allowed opposing hitters to strike out in roughly 25% of at-bats, with the Rays whiffing 14 times in 58 career at-bats against him. Since postseason starters typically throw only four or five innings, if Williams records 15 outs in the game, his career numbers against Tampa Bay suggest he would finish with roughly four strikeouts.
At BetMGM, new users who register with promo code FOXNEWS can place a bet, and if that first wager loses, the sportsbook will refund the stake in bonus bets up to $1,500. One suggested bet under this offer is Yandy Diaz recording 2 or more total bases. Diaz is 7-for-15 against Williams in his career, with only one strikeout, and three of those hits have gone for extra bases, all doubles. Diaz typically bats near the top of his team’s order and should get at least five plate appearances in the game, meaning one double or two hits would be enough for this wager to pay out.
Bet365 is offering new users the chance to wager $10 and receive $365 in bonus bets regardless of whether the bet wins or loses. This offer is being paired with a game involving pitcher Tyler Glasnow, who has made just one postseason appearance so far, lasting 4.2 innings. The Los Angeles Dodgers needed a win in that game to go up 2-1 in their series against the Atlanta Braves, and now must win again to stay alive. Manager Dave Roberts is expected to use as many matchups as possible to keep the team alive, which likely means Glasnow won’t pitch deep into the game, even though he worked at least five innings in 11 of his 13 regular season starts.
FanDuel is offering new users the chance to wager $5 and receive a $50 bonus bet regardless of outcome, repeatable for five consecutive days for a total of $250 in bonus bets. One suggested play under this promotion involves catcher William Contreras, who has been hitting well in his current series. Despite that, Contreras is 0-for-11 with four strikeouts in his career against Glasnow. A $5 bet that Contreras will not record a hit in the game would pay out on plus-money odds if correct, and even if it loses, bettors would still receive the $50 bonus bet tied to the promotion.
