FanDuel, DraftKings Launch Major MLB Betting Promotions

Major sportsbooks are offering special MLB promotions for fans, including FanDuel's two 30% profit boost tokens for any MLB games on April 24 and DraftKings' $200 bonus for new users placing a $5 bet, along with daily bonuses like no-sweat home run bets. Thursday's slate features nine to ten games, with notable matchups such as the Tampa Bay Rays facing the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Kansas City Royals playing a doubleheader against the Colorado Rockies. Bettors are eyeing players like Corbin Carroll, Bobby Witt Jr., and Tyler Soderstrom for home run prop bets, given favorable pitching matchups and recent hot streaks. Meanwhile, MLB announced a 4.8% increase in 2025 draft slot and bonus pool values, with the Nationals' first-overall pick now valued at over $11 million and the Mariners holding the largest overall pool due to supplemental selections. These updates reflect ongoing growth in baseball revenues and provide teams with more flexibility in signing top draftees. Fans and bettors alike are capitalizing on these developments for both wagering opportunities and draft anticipation.
