The 2026 Stanley Cup Final begins Tuesday with the Carolina Hurricanes hosting the Vegas Golden Knights at 8 p.m. ET. BetMGM offers new users the promo code CBSSPORTS, providing $150 in bonus bets if their first wager wins or up to $1,500 if it loses. SportsLine experts favor the Hurricanes (-150) citing their home-ice advantage and strong performance from Taylor Hall.

The projection model recommends betting Over 5.5 total goals (-120) for Tuesday's matchup. Vegas counters with top postseason scorers Mitch Marner and Jack Eichel, who have combined for 39 points. Despite the Golden Knights' offensive firepower, Carolina's defensive prowess and home record make them the safer bet according to analysts.

In MLB action, the Brewers (-200) face the Giants with lefty Kyle Harrison (1.57 ERA) on the mound. Harrison, a former Giants prospect traded in a Brewers steal, looks to continue his strong season against his former team. A parlay combining the Hurricanes, Over 5.5 goals, and Brewers would pay +358, offering significant value for bettors.
