Paul Skenes kicks off the July 12 MLB slate with a prime-time pitching duel against Jacob Misiorowski in Pittsburgh.
What happened?
On July 11, 2026, Kalshi updated its OREGONLIVE1 promo code for Sunday’s full MLB schedule. The slate features a marquee pitching matchup between Paul Skenes and the Milwaukee Brewers’ Jacob Misiorowski at PNC Park. The games arrive just before the MLB All-Star break, giving fans one last weekend to trade MLB markets before the midseason pause.
How can fans use the Kalshi bonus?
New users can enter promo code OREGONLIVE1 to claim a $10 cash trading bonus after registering, verifying their account, and placing a qualifying $10 trade.

Why this matters for Paul Skenes
The July 12 start gives Skenes a high-profile stage before the All-Star break. His matchup against Misiorowski—one of baseball’s top young arms—sets up a key early-July test. The Kalshi bonus lowers the barrier for new traders to engage with MLB markets, adding liquidity around marquee pitching duels like Skenes vs. Misiorowski.
