Wednesday MLB Prices for the Key National TV Games

Both national windows have landed on the board tighter than the standings suggest, and both are priced around a starting pitcher question. The Yankees are barely a favorite at home against a .500 team, and the Dodgers are barely a favorite on the road against a rookie making his third start.

Game 1: Houston Astros vs. New York Yankees (7:05 p.m. ET | Amazon Prime Video | Yankee Stadium, Bronx, NY)

Game 2: Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Atlanta Braves (7:15 p.m. ET | MLB Network | Truist Park, Atlanta, GA)

What Are the Best MLB Betting Promos for Wednesday, Aug. 26?

Every MLB betting promo below has been verified as live for Wednesday's national television window and for the rest of the day's board. Each entry covers the reward, the qualifying wager, the code you need at registration, and why the offer suits a baseball bettor.

1. Fanatics Sportsbook Promo Code ACTION26

New players who register with Fanatics Sportsbook promo code ACTION26 can earn up to $1,000 matched in FanCash across their first 10 days. Bet up to $100 a day at minimum odds of -200, and Fanatics matches that stake in FanCash, up to $100 daily. Ten qualifying days reach the $1,000 ceiling.

This is the offer that gets the most out of the baseball calendar. MLB plays nearly every day between now and the end of September, so none of your 10 days is wasted waiting for a slate to appear. Each match lands as FanCash, which you can spend as bonus bets or on merchandise at Fanatics.com, and it expires seven days later — so it keeps moving rather than piling up unused.

• Promo Code: ACTION26
• Welcome Offer: Up to $1,000 in Matched FanCash.
• Qualifying Wager: $1 or more cash bet each day at minimum odds of -200
• Reward Type: FanCash, redeemable as bonus bets or Fanatics.com merchandise
• Token Expiry: FanCash expires seven days after it is credited
• Eligible States: AZ, CO, CT, DC, IA, IL, IN, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, MI, MO, NC, NJ, NY, OH, PA, TN, VA, VT, WV, WY
• State variants:Bet $20, Get $350 in FanCash (AZ, CO, CT, DC, IA, IN, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, MI, MO, NC, NJ, OH, PA, TN, VA, VT, WV, WY)
• Or: Get 10x 100% Profit Boost Tokens Instantly (IL, NY)

2. BetMGM Bonus Code TOPACTION

No offer on this page has a bigger ceiling than BetMGM bonus code TOPACTION. Place your first cash bet on either featured game and, if it settles as a loss, BetMGM hands the stake back in bonus bets up to $1,500.

That cushion matters more in baseball than in any other sport. A bullpen on its third straight night, a starter pulled early on a pitch count, one wild pitch with a runner on third- favorites lose here at a rate that would count as an upset in football. A $1,500 safety net is what lets you take a real position on a plus-money underdog or a strikeout prop without one at-bat deciding your week.

• Bonus Code: TOPACTION
• Welcome Offer: Up to $1,500 in First Bet Back Bonuses.
• Minimum Deposit: $10
• Qualifying Wager: First real-money bet on any MLB market
• Payout Mechanics: Losing qualifiers over $50 refunded as five 20% bonus tokens; qualifiers under $50 refunded as a single token
• Eligible States: AZ, CO, DC, IA, IL, IN, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, NC, OH, TN, VA, WY
• State variants:TANGET2 — $1,000 No Sweat Tokens (AZ, CO, DC, IA, IL, IN, KS, KY, LA, MD, MO, NC, OH, TN, VA, WY)
• Or: ACTIONGET — Bet $10, Get $150 in Bonus Bets if You Win (MI, NJ, PA, WV)

3. bet365 Bonus Code

The bet365 bonus code unlocks the largest bet-and-get on the page. Wager $10 on any market across Wednesday's slate and $365 in bonus bets lands in your account whether the qualifier wins or loses.

The win-or-lose condition is the whole appeal. Your $10 is doing one job, unlocking the bonus, so it can go on a Sasaki strikeout prop, the Astros moneyline in the Bronx, the Under at Truist Park, or a two-leg parlay across both national games. The $365 arrives either way, and the smarter play is to break it up across Thursday's finales, the late West Coast window, and the weekend board rather than spend it in one place.

• Bonus Code: Click Here (auto-applied via link)
• Welcome Offer: Bet $10, Get $365 in Bonus Bets, Win or Lose
• Minimum Deposit: $10
• Qualifying Wager: $10 real-money bet on any MLB market, any price
• Wagering Requirement: 1x playthrough on settled bonus bets
• Eligible States: AZ, CO, IA, IN, KS, KY, LA, MD, MO, NC, NJ, OH, PA, VA

4. DraftKings Sportsbook Promo Code

There is nothing to type at registration with the DraftKings promo code. The offer activates automatically when you sign up through the link on this page, which removes the most common reason new customers miss out on a welcome bonus. Spend $5 on any Wednesday MLB market and $200 in bonuses follows, with no winning requirement.

What sets it apart for a baseball bettor is the delivery. The reward arrives as $50 every seven days for 21 days, so it lands on three separate weeks of the schedule rather than all at once. That also protects you from the obvious mistake: it is very easy to put $200 of credit on one moneyline and watch a seventh-inning bullpen implosion end the whole thing.

• Promo Code: Click Here (auto-applied via link)
• Welcome Offer: Spend $5, Get $200 in Bonuses
• Qualifying Wager: $5 real-money bet on any MLB market
• Payout Mechanics: $50 in bonus bets every seven days for 21 days
• Eligible States: AR, AZ, CO, DC, IA, IL, IN, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, MI, MO, NC, NJ, NY, OH, PA, TN, VA, VT, WV, WY

5. FanDuel Sportsbook Promo Code

The FanDuel promo code offer is built for a week of baseball rather than a single first pitch. Bet $5 on Wednesday's card, and FanDuel will issue $50 in Bet Reset Tokens to use across the following seven days.

Seven days of cover maps neatly onto how an MLB schedule actually runs: Wednesday's national doubleheader, Thursday's finales, then the weekend series and the games after it. Unlike a football promo, where a week can include two dead days, there is no gap where a token has nothing to cover. One practical note — you have to toggle the token on in your betslip before you confirm the wager, as it is not automatic.

• Promo Code: Click Here (auto-applied via link)
• Welcome Offer: Bet $5, Get $50 in Bet Reset Tokens for 7 Days
• Minimum Deposit / Bet: $10 deposit / $5 qualifying wager
• Payout Mechanics: Token must be toggled on in the betslip before you confirm the wager
• Eligible States: AZ, AR, CO, CT, DC, IA, IL, IN, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, MI, MO, NC, NJ, NY, OH, PA, TN, VA, VT, WV, WY

6. theScore Bet Promo Code ACTNEWS

Register with theScore Bet promo code ACTNEWS and a $1,000 First Bet Reset is applied to your account. Take any market across Wednesday's MLB board, and if your opening bet misses, the stake comes back in bonus bets up to $1,000.

The refund structure is what makes it useful for baseball. Larger resets return as five equal tokens rather than one lump sum, so a $500 losing opener on the Dodgers comes back as five $100 bets you can spread across Thursday's finales, the weekend afternoon window, and the following series. Concentrating a refund on one baseball game is how a second chance becomes no chance — in a sport where the best teams lose four of every 10, sample size is the entire argument.

• Promo Code: ACTNEWS
• Welcome Offer: $1,000 First Bet Reset
• Minimum Deposit: $10
• Qualifying Wager: First real-money bet on any MLB market
• Payout Mechanics: Larger losing qualifiers refunded as five equal bonus bet tokens
• Eligible States: AZ, CO, IA, IL, IN, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, MO, NC, OH, TN, VA
• State variant:ACTNEWS — Bet $10, Get $100 in Bonus Bets If You Win (MI, NJ, PA, WV)

2. Polymarket Promo Code ACTION

Which MLB Betting Promo Should You Claim on Wednesday?

There is no single right answer, because the correct offer depends on how you intend to bet the rest of the week rather than on which headline number is biggest:

• Planning to bet every day through the weekend? The Fanatics 10-day bet match, the DraftKings $200 rolling structure and the FanDuel seven-day reset tokens are the offers built to reward daily volume, and baseball is the only sport that fills every day of those windows.
• Making one considered play on the national window? BetMGM's $1,500 first bet back offer and theScore Bet's $1,000 reset carry by far the highest ceilings on a single wager, and both return the refund in multiple tokens rather than one.
• Want the bonus guaranteed regardless of the result? bet365's $365 and Borgata's $100 both pay out win or lose, which makes them the safest qualifiers to fire into a game with an unconfirmed starter.
• In a state without full sportsbook access? Kalshi and Polymarket cover a far wider map through CFTC-regulated event contracts.

Most readers will be eligible for more than one. Because every offer here is new-customer only, claiming two or three across different books is the most efficient way to build a bankroll for the rest of the week — and it gives you somewhere to line shop when two apps disagree on a run total.

How to Watch Wednesday's MLB National TV Games

Wednesday's two featured games are separated by 10 minutes, so both are watchable back to back with a little remote work. The Bronx game is Amazon's exclusive national window, while MLB Network carries the Dodgers and Braves from Atlanta.

Game 1: Houston Astros vs. New York Yankees

Game 2: Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Atlanta Braves
