Caesars $1,500 risk-free bet terms & conditions
The details surrounding this offer are extremely simple and easy to follow. If your first wager placed comes up a winner, you’ll receive your stake back and payout in cash – nothing to see here, a normal bet. However, if your first bet happens to strikeout, Caesars Sportsbook will reimburse your entire stake up to $1,500 in the form of a single-use free bet credit.
Any eligible players who lose their risk-free first bet will receive their free bet credit within 48 hours of the initial wager’s settlement and must use it within 14 days of receipt or it will expire. Once again, the free bet credit will only be available for a one-time use, meaning players will need to use it on a single wager – it cannot be broken up. The free bet credit does not need to be used on MLB-related bets, so feel free to use it on any other markets available at Caesars Sportsbook.
All users must be 21 years or older in order to play and must be located in an eligible Caesars Sportsbook state to claim their welcome bonus. This offer is currently available to players located in AZ, CO, IA, IL, IN, LA, MI, NJ, NY, TN, VA, WV, and WY.

Saturday’s game to watch: Astros @ Braves in 2021 WS rematch
Our top choice for Saturday’s game to watch is none other than a rematch of the 2021 World Series between the Houston Astros and the Atlanta Braves.
This high-intensity matchup is set for 7:15pm ET on Saturday night at Truist Park in Atlanta, Georgia and will feature a pair of young arms in Christian Javier for Houston and Spencer Strider for Atlanta. Javier (7-8, 2.96 ERA) is seemingly enjoying his third season in the big leagues, posting career highs in nearly every statistic across the board, while Strider (7-4, 3.04 ERA) is currently listed as the betting favorite to win the National League Rookie of the Year award.
While Houston should already have the American League West locked up, entering the weekend with an 11.5-game division lead, Atlanta will continue its hot pursuit of the New York Mets and first place in the National League East. It’s a must-see event that you can bet on completely risk-free over at Caesars Sportsbook. Get started today using code HANDLE15.

Sunday’s game to watch: Blue Jays @ Yankees in AL East pitcher’s duel
A marquee matchup is on tap for Sunday afternoon as the Toronto Blue Jays get set to take on the New York Yankees in a battle of struggling American League East rivals.
The game is scheduled for 1:35pm ET at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, New York and will be headlined by a pair of AL All-Stars dueling it out on the mound. Alek Manoah (12-6, 2.71 ERA) will get the ball for Toronto and face off against Yankees southpaw Nestor Cortes (9-4, 2.74).
New York has been scuffling since the calendar turned to August, having not won a series since they took down the Kansas City Royals on July 31st. But despite their recent struggles, the Bombers still hold a 9-game lead in the division over both Toronto and the Tampa Bay Rays. If the Blue Jays hope to make one last push at the AL East, it begins this weekend in the Bronx.
