Baseball fans love home runs, it’s a scientific fact.

Baseball bettors in Pennsylvania will love home runs even more when one wins them $50 at Parx. Here’s how you can take advantage of this promo:

• Click this link
• Deposit at least $25
• Bet $25 or more on the Phillies or Pirates games as your first bet — odds must be -250 or higher (-200, -115, +150, etc). See full terms here.

Of course, if your original bet wins, you’d win that money, too.

There are six games you can bet on that qualify for this promo — each of the three Phillies games against the Marlins and each of the three Pirates games against the Cardinals. If either team homers in the game you bet on, you’ll cash.

We’re coming off a record season in which there were a combined 2.78 homers per game and considering this season starts in the heat of summer, we could see even higher clip in 2020.

Harper. Hoskins. Bell. Goldschmidt. DeJong. Which slugger will help you reach the promise land this weekend?

DraftKings Sportsbook

Offer: Bet $25, Win $250 if Mike Trout Gets At Least One Hit on Opening Day

Yeah, so if you’re not a big baseball fan, or live under a rock, Trout is the real deal. He’s near even money to win the AL MVP each season and sports a lifetime .305 batting average. To the chagrin of Oakland fans, he has 157 hits in 140 career games vs. the Athletics.

In short, you’re going to want to bet on this promo which is offering crazy 10-1 odds on Trout to get at least one hit on Friday night.

To do so:

• Click this link and click ‘opt-in’ on the Happy Hour landing page
• Hit sign up on the Rewards tab
• Register and deposit at least $25
• Bet $25 on Trout to get a hit at +1000 odds from the My Rewards tab

If he comes through, you’ll have $250 cash deposited into your DraftKings account. Yes, that’s right: cash — no free bets or rollovers with this promotion.

While Trout getting a hit isn’t a lock, it’s also wayyyyyy more likely than the +1000 odds suggest. You could put a decent high school player out there and they’d probably have better than a 10-1 chance of getting one hit in a handful of at-bats.

Over the past three seasons, Trout has gotten a hit in about 70% of his games, which would equate to about -230 odds. The +1000 odds for this promo are equivalent to a 9.1% chance, which means you’re getting a 60+% edge!

At the end of the day, we can add up the elements and see what we get: Mike Trout + 60% betting edge + $250 payout (in cash!) = INSANE PROMO.

Bet $25, Win $250 if Mike Trout Gets At Least One Hit on Opening Day
