The latest DraftKings promo code pitch tied to Monday MLB action is straightforward: CBS Sports reports that new users can receive $150 in bonus bets after placing a first wager of at least $5.
The promotion was framed around a three-game baseball card featuring Nationals vs. Blue Jays, Reds vs. Guardians and White Sox vs. Yankees. CBS Sports said its Monday betting angles were built from picks supplied by SportsLine’s MLB experts.
CBS Sports also disclosed that the page may include affiliate links, and that it may earn a commission if readers click, sign up, deposit or place a wager, at no added cost to the user.
What is the DraftKings promo code offer?
According to CBS Sports, the offer gives eligible new DraftKings users $150 in bonus bets after their first wager of $5 or more. The offer was promoted alongside Monday MLB betting picks, with odds listed at the time of publication and noted as subject to change.
SportsLine said its Projection Model simulates every MLB game 10,000 times. CBS Sports reported the model entered Week 18 of the MLB season on a 35-21 run on top-rated MLB picks and had produced nearly 30 units of profit on home run prop picks in 2025.
Monday MLB picks listed with the offer
The three selections highlighted by CBS Sports and SportsLine were:
- Nationals vs. Blue Jays: C.J. Abrams over 1.5 total bases at -134
- Reds vs. Guardians: Cincinnati -1.5 at +123
- White Sox vs. Yankees: Chicago +1.5 at -137
CBS Sports said combining the three picks into one DraftKings parlay would carry +599 odds, meaning a $100 stake would profit $599 if all three legs won. The listed odds were marked as subject to change.
Why SportsLine backed C.J. Abrams
SportsLine MLB expert Eric Cohen pointed to C.J. Abrams’ post-All-Star break surge in recommending the Nationals shortstop to go over 1.5 total bases against Toronto.
Cohen said Abrams had 19 hits, including seven home runs, across nine games since the break. He also noted Abrams had reached at least two total bases in seven straight games and in eight of nine games since the break, with Max Scherzer returning from the injured list to face Washington.
Why Cincinnati was picked against Cleveland
SportsLine MLB expert Micah Roberts backed Cincinnati -1.5 against Cleveland, citing the Guardians’ five-game losing streak and recent struggles in starts by Slade Cecconi.
Roberts said Cleveland had lost Cecconi’s previous two starts and that he had allowed 15 runs across his last three outings. He also said the Reds were coming home after a 6-3 road trip and had won the last seven games started by Chase Burns, each by at least two runs.
Why Chicago was the Yankees vs. White Sox pick
SportsLine MLB expert Matt Severance recommended White Sox +1.5 against the Yankees, while acknowledging the matchup included New York ace Max Fried against rookie Noah Schultz.
Severance cited the Yankees’ Sunday night spot, Cody Bellinger’s move to the injured list and New York’s recent run production. He said the Yankees had averaged 3.25 runs across their previous 32 games entering Sunday night, and pointed to Chicago’s 33-18 record against the spread at home.
