Sports betting platform BetMGM is offering a promotion for new users ahead of Game 2 of the American League Division Series between the Chicago White Sox and the Cleveland Guardians. With the bonus code POSTBET, customers can receive up to $1,500 in bonus bets if their initial wager does not win.
The White Sox took a 1-0 lead in the best-of-five series after winning Game 1, with Munetaka Murakami hitting a two-run home run. The series continues on Monday in Cleveland.
The BetMGM offer allows first-time users to place a wager between $10 and $1,500. If the bet is unsuccessful, the user will be reimbursed with bonus bets equal to the amount of their initial wager.

For Game 2, the Guardians are scheduled to start pitcher Gavin Williams. Williams finished the regular season with 248 strikeouts, ranking second in Major League Baseball. Murakami and Miguel Vargas have previously hit home runs off Williams, while Williams has recorded eight strikeouts against White Sox shortstop Colson Montgomery in nine career at-bats.
