There's plenty of sports action to bet on all across Wednesday, Aug. 27, with 15 MLB games and two WNBA contests on the schedule, as well as the second round of the US Open. If you're a bettor looking to place wagers on any of these games or the US Open, check out the BetMGM bonus code CBSSPORTS. BetMGM currently has two new-user promotions right now depending on the state you're located in, offering either up to $1,500 in bonus bets if your first bet loses, or $150 in bonus bets if you win your first bet of $10 or more. Top games on Wednesday include the San Diego Padres at Seattle Mariners and Philadelphia Phillies at New York Mets on the diamond and a massive WNBA tilt between the Atlanta Dream and Las Vegas Aces. Additionally, the US Open sees Carlos Alcaraz in action on the men's side and Aryna Sabalenka on the women's side. You can wager on all of those events at BetMGM. 

How to claim the BetMGM bonus code

There are two BetMGM promotions available to new users, and what you can access depends on where you live. If you are in West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Michigan or New Jersey, you can sign up and get $150 in bonus bets if you win a first wager of $10 or more. If you're in another state where BetMGM operates, you can get up to $1,500 in bonus bets if your first bet loses. There's no minimum odds requirement for either offer; just click "CLAIM BONUS" on this page to get started and use the bonus code CBSSPORTS when prompted. 

BetMGM bonus code terms and conditions

When signing up, you will need to deposit at least $10 into your account before placing your first wager. If you sign up with the offer for bonus bets if your first bet loses, there are two ways your bonus bets will be credited. If you place a first bet under $50 and it loses, you get your stake back in one single bonus bet slip. If your first bet is $50 or more and loses, you'll get five bonus bet slips, each worth 20% of your stake. For instance, if you bet $500 and lost, you'd get five $100 slips. Bonus bets hold no cash value and can't be withdrawn or cashed out. Bonus bets expire after seven days, and if you win a bet using bonus bets, just know you will receive the winnings but not the stake back.

Best bets on Wednesday, August 27

Best MLB bets today

Two NL East rivals do battle Wednesday when the Mets host the Phillies. The Mets were in a bit of a freefall for much of the second half, but they've righted the ship and have played much better baseball of late, including this series against Philly. New York took the series opener 13-3 before recording a walk-off win on Tuesday. The Mets will look to cap off a big series sweep against the NL East-leading Phillies. Wednesday's pitching matchup sees Taijuan Walker (4-6, 3.44 ERA) get the nod for the Phillies while the Mets turn to rookie right-hander Nolan McLean (2-0, 1.46 ERA). Walker started the year in the bullpen but now finds himself a key rotation member, especially with the news that ace Zack Wheeler is out for the year. Walker has spun three quality starts over his last four starts. McLean is making his third career MLB start and has picked up 15 strikeouts while allowing just two runs over 12.1 innings. The SportsLine Projection Model, which simulates every MLB game 10,000 times, likes Philly in this one as the visitors win in 47% of simulations at +133 odds.
