BetMGM promo code for Thunder vs. Pacers Game 6, MLB and more on June 19

Will the next NBA champion be decided Thursday night? That could very well be the case as the Oklahoma City Thunder enter Game 6 up 3-2 on the Indiana Pacers, who need a win at home to force Game 7 and keep their season alive. We've also got 16 games on the MLB schedule, with doubleheaders between the Detroit Tigers and Pittsburgh Pirates as well as the St. Louis Cardinals and Chicago White Sox.

If you're a sports fan looking to place wagers on any of the top games on Thursday, you may be interested in the BetMGM promo code SPORTSLINE, which gives new users the ability to earn up to $1,500 in bonus bets if their first bet loses. 

If you want to claim the BetMGM promo code, you must first be of legal age in a state where BetMGM operates. You also need to be a new BetMGM user who has never signed up with the sportsbook before. If you check those boxes, follow these steps.

If your first bet wins, you simply net your winnings like any other wager. If your first bet loses, you receive your stake back in the form of bonus bets.

The Thunder can put away the Pacers in Game 6 with a road win. They already had the upper hand in this matchup, but things will be even easier for OKC as Indiana guard Tyrese Haliburton is battling a calf strain and will be a game-time decision. Haliburton had just four points in Game 5 as he played through injury, and him being banged up is a big blow to Indiana's chances as he's been incredibly clutch for the Pacers all postseason, including hitting the game-winner in Game 1. The Thunder are 6-point favorites, according to SportsLine consensus odds, and they're -236 on the money line (wager $236 to win $100). The model has the Thunder winning most of the time, but it likes playing Indiana on the money line as the Pacers are winning in 38% of simulations, bringing value at their +196 odds. 

The National League Central is home to one of the top games on Thursday's MLB slate as the Milwaukee Brewers visit the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field. It's the second game of a brief two-game set between the two rivals, and the Cubs won 5-3 Tuesday. It's a good pitching matchup as the Brewers send ace Freddy Peralta (6-4, 2.60 ERA) while the Cubs will start Jameson Taillon (7-3, 3.48 ERA). The model has two 'B' grades for this contest, including on the money line, where the Cubs are winning -130 favorites. Chicago wins in 60% of simulations, bringing value at these odds. 

The Los Angeles Dodgers can complete a four-game sweep of their NL West rivals, the San Diego Padres, with another win Thursday night. The Dodgers won 6-3 on Monday, 8-6 on Tuesday and then 4-3 on Wednesday. Los Angeles has one of baseball's top starters on the hill today in Yoshinobu Yamamoto (6-5, 2.33 ERA) while San Diego counters with rookie right-hander Ryan Bergert (1-0, 2.33 ERA), who is making his fourth career start and eighth career appearance. The Dodgers are -262 favorites on the money line while the Padres are +212 underdogs, according to SportsLine consensus odds, and the model has San Diego covering the 1.5-run spread in 57% of simulations.
