Opening weekend action is finally here, meaning it’s time to hit the bar, grab a cold one, and watch the 162-game marathon kick off with enough chaos to make you forget all about your busted brackets. FanDuel is stepping up with an absolute no-brainer of an offer to start the season. Just register for FanDuel Sportsbook, deposit, and place your first real-money wager of $5 or more. Whether that bet clears the fence or completely tanks, you’ll walk away with $300 in Bonus Bets, win or lose—giving you plenty of house money to ride out the first month of the pennant race.
If you’re looking to deploy those bonus bets on the guys actually swinging the lumber, here are three of the most dangerous players to keep your eye on as they dominate the daily prop boards and chase an MVP:
Shohei Ohtani (Los Angeles Dodgers)
You can’t talk about baseball right now without talking about the massive energy Ohtani brings every time he steps into the box. He has the ability to take over a game with a single swing and plays with a terrifying level of consistency. He has one of the most loaded, battle-tested resumes in the history of the sport, and backing Ohtani on his total bases or home run props is always a highly lucrative investment. When he gets hot, he has the offensive firepower to completely run the table.
Bobby Witt Jr. (Kansas City Royals)
If there is one guy in baseball who plays with the exact same unhinged, frantic energy as a fan watching a busted parlay, it’s Bobby Witt Jr. The man has turned the Royals’ lineup into an absolute buzzsaw. He plays with suffocating speed on the basepaths, executes offensively with terrifying precision, and genuinely looks offended whenever pitchers even attempt to throw him a fastball. Betting against a Witt-led offense right now is usually just asking for a miserable weekend.
Elly De La Cruz (Cincinnati Reds)
De La Cruz has the Reds rolling right now, serving as a dynamic, relentless sparkplug who is perfectly built to survive the sheer chaos of a long summer run. He just steamrolled his way through the opening series, playing with an overwhelming pace and dominance on the basepaths that makes him an absolute nightmare matchup for opposing catchers. He has completely reenergized this roster, turning himself into a high-powered machine that nobody wants to see stepping up to the plate in late innings.
And if $300 in bonus bets isn’t enough, FanDuel is also offering a Bet Reset Up To $5,000 (Minimum deposit of $2,000) for new users in Arkansas only from now until 4/26 @ 11:59 AM EST! Further details are linked below:
