A Fox News betting promotion published October 18, 2026, described a BetMGM offer tied to Game 5 of the American League Championship Series between the Tampa Bay Rays and Cleveland Guardians. The promotion said new users could enter the code FOXNEWS to receive a refund on their first losing wager, with the offer capped at $1,500 in bonuses. It also cautioned that odds were subject to change.
The source described the game as taking place that night and said the best-of-seven series was tied 2-2. The teams had alternated wins, making Game 5 a pivotal contest in the series, according to the article.
The promotion framed pitching as a central factor in the matchup. It said both clubs had been among baseball’s stronger pitching teams during the regular season and characterized starting pitching in the series as impressive. Bullpen performances had generally been good, the source said, though there had been some shaky stretches.
The article posed the question of which team’s pitching staff would prevail but did not provide a prediction or report the game’s result. Its discussion of team performance and the potential importance of pitching was presented as context for the betting offer, rather than as a reported outcome.
The promotional terms in the supplied text are limited: it identifies the code, the first-losing-wager refund, and the maximum bonus amount, but does not explain eligibility requirements, expiration dates, or how a refund would be credited. Readers would need to consult BetMGM’s applicable terms for details beyond those stated in the promotion.
