Fox News published a betting promotion tied to Game 3 of the National League Championship Series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Milwaukee Brewers, scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 14, 2026. The article listed an 8 p.m. Eastern start at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles and FS1 as the television and streaming outlet. It noted that odds could change.
The article said Milwaukee entered the game ahead two games to none, putting the Dodgers under pressure to win. It presented four players as potential contributors: Brewers outfielder Jackson Chourio and catcher William Contreras, along with Dodgers designated hitter Shohei Ohtani and catcher Will Smith.
For Chourio, the article cited a regular-season batting average of .291, 25 home runs and 75 runs batted in. It said he had two hits in nine at-bats against Los Angeles in the series, and described his production against San Diego in a prior postseason round as three hits and six RBIs over four games. The article argued Milwaukee would benefit if he sparked its offense.
Contreras was credited with a .270 average, 18 home runs and 94 RBIs during the regular season. The article reported that he was batting .391 in the postseason, with nine hits in 23 at-bats, including three home runs. It said he went hitless in Game 1 but helped Milwaukee win Game 2.
Ohtani’s cited regular-season figures were a .275 average and 30 home runs. The article said he returned from an injury on Sept. 23 and had eight hits in 41 at-bats since then, with his most recent home run dated Aug. 18. It characterized his recent performance as a concern for Los Angeles.
For Smith, the article reported one hit and eight strikeouts in 23 at-bats during the postseason, and a .193 average against Milwaukee overall. It said Los Angeles needed him to make contact and reach base.
The promotion was described as an offer for new Underdog users using code FOXNEWS. The article’s headline framed it as a $5 wager for $100 in bonuses, while the offer details said a $5 bet earned a $10 bonus-bet token and users could repeat the process for 10 days to reach $100. The source did not provide additional terms or eligibility conditions. The article encouraged readers to make a player-related wager but did not provide independent verification of the promotion.
