Fanatics Sportsbook Promo Delivers up to $300 in Bonus Bets or $1000 in No Sweat Bets
The Chicago Cubs have their best team since the 2016 World Series champions, but they'll learn a lot about their potential during this weekend's series with the AL West-leading Houston Astros. If you're planning to play a wager or two on MLB or any other sport this weekend, then you need to know about the Fanatics Sportsbook promo that delivers a fistful of bonus bets, No Sweat Bets or profit-boost tokens — depending on where you live. Here's the scoop: If you're a new bettor playing in Michigan, New Jersey or Pennsylvania, you'll receive $300 in bonus bets for playing $30 in first bets over a three-day stretch. If you're a new bettor in Arizona, Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Maryland, North Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee, Virginia or West Virginia, you're guaranteed $250 in bonus bets by placing $50 in first bets over a five-day run. New bettors in all states (except New York) can choose the classic Fanatics Sportsbook welcome offer that gives you access to as much as $1,000 in No Sweat Bets over 10 days. New bettors playing in New York, meanwhile, have a sweet offer of their own: They get to play one 100% profit-boost token each day for 10 straight days. Since the Cubs won the World Series in 2016 — ending 108 years of agony for their massive fan base — they've struggled to build a team strong enough to get back to that point. But between shrewd trades for prospects (hello, likely All-Star center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong) and shrewd trades for superstars about to hit free agency (hello, likely All-Star right fielder Kyle Tucker, whom they acquired from the Astros), they've built a squad that leads the NL Central and could challenge the Los Angeles Dodgers if their starting pitching solidifies. Anyway, if you check the Fanatics Sportsbook app — one of the nation's best sports betting apps — you'll see the Cubs are an intriguing +1200 to win the World Series while the Astros are next in line at +1400.

Fanatics Sportsbook Promo: Score Up to $300 Bonus or $1000 in No Sweat Bets There's no soccer Friday, but the FIFA Club World Cup and CONCACAF Gold Cup hit the knockout stage this weekend with some big matches. The World Cup's Round of 16 features a doozy early Sunday with Lionel Messi and Inter Miami facing PSG in Atlanta. On Sunday evening in Gold Cup quarterfinal action, the United States takes on Costa Rica. Click the Soccer tab to access the latest odds on everything, including the Quick Bets. Did you notice the last game on the list? It's the first time Indiana's Caitlin Clark and Dallas' Paige Bueckers play each other as pros — and the WNBA surely hope it's the first of many times. There's just one catch: the Wings aren't good right now and the Fever are still figuring out how to be a contender. Nonetheless, it's a worthy wagering opportunity on the league's last two No. 1 overall picks. Looking ahead to Saturday night for a moment, UFC 317 features two title fights — including a clash between Ilia Topuria and Charles Oliveira for the vacated lightweight title. (Remember, Islam Makhachev is headed up to welterweight.) Anyway, Topuria is ranked No. 3 on UFC's toughest pound-for-pound list while Oliveira stands 13th.

Pete Crow-Armstrong forgot how many outs there were in embarrassing Cubs blunder
Pete Crow-Armstrong's brain fart cost the Cubs dearly. The outfielder caught Alec Burleson's long fly ball to center field in the fourth inning on Tuesday night and turned to jog back to the dugout — unfortunately, the out marked only the second of the inning and allowed Masyn Winn to score from second, giving the Cardinals an 8-5 lead. Winn's dash around the basepaths proved to be the winning run in an 8-7 Cubs loss — the team's third straight. Advertisement 'He lost track of the outs. It's just a mistake,' manager Craig Counsell told reporters. 3 Cubs center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong (4) catches a sacrifice fly hit by St. Louis Cardinals right fielder Alec Burleson.

IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect Crow-Armstrong's Cubs teammates weren't going to let the loss hang on his shoulders, either. Advertisement 'He's been so good for us this year,' starter Jameson Taillon said. 'Obviously, he's one of the best defenders in baseball. That's just a freak thing. He takes a lot of pride in his defense, takes a lot of pride in being a great teammate, so I'm not too worried about it. I was more mad at myself for giving up the homers and giving up a lot of hard contact. 'I'm not too concerned with the eighth run I gave up. I'm concerned with all eight. I'm sure it won't happen again. He's been so good for us.' The blunder comes as Crow-Armstrong continues to cool off after a torrid start to the season that had some talking up as a potential National League MVP candidate.

IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters Connect Crow-Armstrong is hitting .273 with 21 home runs, 61 RBIs, and 24 stolen bases through 78 games. Most of that production came in April and May, though, as he is hitting just .259 with nine home runs, 23 RBIs, and 10 stolen bases in his last 30 games entering . Advertisement He didn't seem like he was going to let the play snowball into something bigger, with a pretty simple plan for dealing with it. 'Go to sleep and wake up,' he said. Despite the mistake, he has grown into one of the best players in baseball, with a WAR rating of 4.0, the third best in all of baseball behind Yankees star Aaron Judge (6.1) and Mariners' breakout star Cal Raleigh (5.4). The former Mets prospect was traded to the Cubs in 2021 in exchange for pitcher Trevor Williams and Javier Baez at the trade deadline.

St. Louis Cardinals vs Chicago Cubs: Predicted lineup, venue, where to watch and odds (24 June, 2025)

The Cubs come into St. Louis having won four out of six, and the Cardinals are trying to get on a roll and bounce back from a slow start to the month. Expect drama, power, and emotion as two of the American League's hottest teams square off in what should be a thrilling series. Predicted lineup and key players Jameson Taillon will oppose the Cubs. Taillon has been solid for the Cubs, going 7–4 with a 3.84 ERA until getting blown up for five earned runs across six innings in his last start. He'll be aiming to bounce back against a Cardinals lineup that has been hot and cold this season. Pete Crow-Armstrong, who belted his 21st home run of the season, and Seiya Suzuki, who continued to hit in clutch situations, will once again play vital roles in the Cubs' offense. Carson Kelly adds a strong punch to the lineup, even after his cycle back in March. On the other side, Michael McGreevy will be making his fourth start with the Cardinals. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Eat 1 Teaspoon Every Night, See What Happens A Week Later [Video] getfittoday Undo He's 1–1 with a 2.70 ERA so far and has looked good in limited time on the mound. Willson Contreras will be back as well, filling a hybrid role on offense as the designated hitter and first baseman this season, with 500+ RBIS, through June. Predicted lineups of both the sides Chicago Cubs: Nico Hoerner – 2B Seiya Suzuki – RF Ian Happ – LF Cody Bellinger – DH Christopher Morel – 3B Pete Crow-Armstrong – CF Dansby Swanson – SS Michael Busch – 1B Carson Kelly – C Starting Pitcher: Jameson Taillon St. Louis Cardinals: Brendan Donovan – LF Lars Nootbaar – CF Paul Goldschmidt – 1B Nolan Arenado – 3B Willson Contreras – DH Alec Burleson – RF Nolan Gorman – 2B Iván Herrera – C Masyn Winn – SS Starting Pitcher: Michael McGreevy Odds, predictions and where to watch Heading into this one, the betting odds give a slight edge to the Cubs, with most sportsbooks making Chicago around –115 moneyline favorites. Only slightly favored, the Cardinals are set at +100, making this a coin flip. The run line is Cubs –1.5 and the over/under of 9 runs– a number that could be reached this weekend as both teams have started swinging the bats well. FOX Sports and Action Network experts are divided on the result but anticipate a close, high-scoring affair, with a score predicted to be somewhere in the neighborhood of 6–5.

Cubs' Pete Crow-Armstrong Labeled MLB's Next Superstar
Cubs' Pete Crow-Armstrong Labeled MLB's Next Superstar originally appeared on Athlon Sports. With the help of the young Pete Crow-Armstrong, the Chicago Cubs have the one of the best offenses and best records in all of baseball. The centerfielder turned just 23 in March, and is now being called the MLB's next superstar by ESPN's Jesse Rogers. Advertisement "He might be the complete package," Rogers said. Crow-Armstrong has racked up 19 homers and 58 RBIs, already topping his numbers in 123 games last season, with a .270 batting average. Toss in 23 stolen bases and he is on pace for a 40/40 season in just his second full year in the big leagues. The rise of the young star's offensive game comes after his defense and speedy baserunning served as big reasons why he got to the show in the first place. Now he is doing it all, and doing it all well. "Crow-Armstrong has also played near flawless center field, tracking down balls with a burst of energy, stealing sure hits off the bat while daring baserunners to test his arm," Rogers said. Chicago Cubs outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong (4) runs the bases after hitting a home run against the Milwaukee Brewers during the eighth inning at Wrigley Banks-Imagn Images But, according to Rogers, his talent on the field is not the only thing defining the Cubs' star. That would be his genuine and energetic personality. Advertisement "Crow-Armstrong's infectious personality is also a huge part of his appeal for a fan base starving for a star and a league always trying to sell its game," Rogers said. "He connects with the young and old in the stands at Wrigley as well as inside the Cubs' clubhouse." The Cubs clearly have a new face of the franchise, an instant fan favorite, who by all accounts has the character and personality to match.
