BetMGM<\/a> has written the most tickets on the Bronx Bombers, but the book has taken more money on Los Angeles. The Yankees have the second-highest handle, but the Tampa Bay Rays are third. Main said their initial odds of +3000 attracted early interest. The Rays are now available at +2000.<\/strong><\/p>\nIn terms of tickets written, after the Yanks, it’s the New York Mets, followed by the Dodgers, Minnesota Twins, Chicago Cubs, and the Chicago White Sox.<\/p>\n
White Sox, Royals, and Reds Trendy Picks<\/h2>\n
BetMGM is currently available in New Jersey, Nevada, Indiana, Colorado, West Virginia, Michigan, and Mississippi. The latter two are retail only. The sportsbook has more than 160 wagering opportunities available on MLB.<\/p>\n
Main told Casino.org<\/em> the trendiest selections are three total wins bets.<\/p>\n\n
So far, 100 percent of the bettors on the White Sox regular-season win total have bet over 31.5. Bettors like that Chicago\u2019s other team has made upgrades from last year, including the additions of All-Star catcher Yasmani Grandal and Cy Young Award-winning pitcher Dallas Keuchel.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Last year, the Kansas City Royals went 59-103, but bettors like their chances to win 25 times this season, as 100 percent of bettors in that market have picked the over, which started at 23.5 and has since been bumped up to 24.5.<\/strong><\/p>\nIt\u2019s not unanimous for Cincinnati, but 95 percent of BetMGM bettors like the additions of free-agent bats Mike Moustakas and Nick Castellanos to go with a starting rotation that might just be the best from top-to-bottom in the National League. The total wins for the Reds is set at 32.5.<\/p>\n
New Specials for Upcoming Season<\/h2>\n
New this year for BetMGM, the sportsbook is offering more pre-game player specials. Main added that they\u2019re also creating pre-packaged parlays to help bettors with quicker selections. Once the game starts, bettors can track the game, as the app now features data visualization, statistics, and in-game commentary<\/p>\n
Each week, bettors also can \u201chit for the cycle\u201d by placing a $10 pre-game bet, a $10 two-leg parlay, a $10 three-leg parlay, and a $10 in-game wager, and receive a $20 free bet. Bettors can claim the special once a week, and all four bets must have odds of -200 or longer.<\/strong><\/p>\nBetMGM is also offering regional new customer specials in select markets. If a new customer bets a $1 on a specific game and a player for either team in that game hits a home run, the bettor will receive $100 in free bets.
