How to use the BetMGM bonus offer Thursday
The Tigers are not the team that comes to mind when you think of a club with a formidable lineup. However, the young cats must be given credit.
Six guys in Detroit’s lineup have above-average hard-hit rates, and the youth movement is leading the charge. Spencer Torkelson and Riley Greene have begun to put it together over the last few months and are serious threats to opposing pitchers.
Speaking of opposing pitchers, the Tigers will get to go up against Xzavion Curry. Curry has been a swingman for the Guardians this season but has made strides in the rotation as he’s gone five innings in each of his last two starts.
The issue is that Curry being out there longer will only help the Tigers in this matchup. Curry may have a 3.39 ERA, but the 25-year-old right-hander ranks in the first percentile in average exit velocity allowed and is in the fourth percentile in hard-hit rate.
He is due for some sizable regression, as his xERA of 5.15 indicates. The Tigers are in a prime spot to initiate that regression tonight.
I touched on Cleveland’s offensive struggles and it has really limited a team that entered the season as the favorite to win the division. Although, struggling may be putting it lightly as the Guardians are statistically the weakest lineup in baseball.
Yes, they don’t strike out, but they don’t put the ball in play with any authority. Cleveland is last in average exit velocity, hard-hit rate and barrel rate.
The Guardians will fare well against Tarik Skubal. The young left-hander has tremendous stuff and has displayed it in the handful of starts he’s made since returning from injury.
Skubal is due for some significant positive regression, as his xERA is nearly half of his actual ERA. He’s done a tremendous job of limiting hard contact and missing barrels, which will only be amplified against the Guardians tonight.
Back the Tigers to be up halfway through this one.
Pick: Tigers F5 -0.5 (-105)

How the BetMGM Bonus offer works
Since you could use your traditional BetMGM bonus offer on Tuesday’s matchup, let’s review how it ensures success.
- If you win your first bet: If the first bet you place at BetMGM wins, you keep the wager and the winnings. It will then become real withdrawable cash.
- If you lose your first bet: Your account will be credited with bonus bets equal to the amount you wagered. However, you must remember, to see the full $1,000 back in bonus bets, it requires depositing and wagering the max of $1,000. If you deposit and bet only $100 and it loses, you’ve got yourself $100 in bonus bets. If you deposit and bet $500, you’d get $500 back in bonus bets, and the same applies to any amount.
So, suppose you deposit $500 and bet it all on the Tigers F5 spread in Thursday’s matchup at BetMGM.
- If the Tigers are winning, your profit is $476.19 and you keep the original $500. You’ve now got yourself a grand total of $976.19 in your account. You can withdraw all of this.
- If the Tigers are losing halfway through, you get $500 back in bonus bets.

If padding your bankroll without actually placing a bet sounds good to you, then you’ll want to check out BetMGM’s “refer a friend” bonus. BetMGM allows users to refer up to 20 friends, and each time that one of your friends signs up both of you will receive a $50 in bonus bet.
For you to claim your bonus, your friend will need to make their first deposit and place their $50 of their bonus.
