Cincinnati Reds
The MLB team most Kentucky sports bettors cheer for is the Cincinnati Reds. Select any MLB betting market during the season to get in on the action with one of the oldest franchises in baseball. You'll be able to bet on Reds MLB futures as well as moneylines and run lines on all of their games. MLB player props will also be commonly bet MLB wagers.
Cincinnati Bengals

Indianapolis Colts
The Indianapolis Colts are another popular NFL franchise that is well supported in Kentucky. Indianapolis is only a couple of hours north of the shared border with Kentucky and Indiana, and it could be an exciting year to bet on quarterback Anthony Richardson to win NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2023 or on the Colts to win the AFC South division.
Tennessee Titans
Another professional sports team that garners considerable support in the Bluegrass State is the Tennessee Titans. The Titans are located in Nashville, which is close to Kentucky's southern border, making them a viable choice for NFL betting on DraftKings Sportsbook Kentucky. The Titans also drafted a polarizing rookie quarterback in Will Levis, so his odds to win NFL Rookie of the Year could be an enticing wager to place as well.
Nashville Predators
The Nashville Predators were an expansion team in the late 1990s, but they have a strong fanbase in Kentucky. With no other NHL teams located near the Bluegrass State, the Predators draw support with NHL betting on the team. You can bet on the Predators' NHL futures market, after missing the 2023 NHL Playoffs.
