DraftKings is giving baseball bettors in Michigan a new way to wager during live MLB games.
The operator recently launched “Moonshot,” an interactive live-wagering feature that transforms a single plate appearance into a fast-paced, exciting experience. The product is now available to eligible DraftKings Sportsbook MI customers and other regulated markets where the operator is live.
The launch comes as operators continue investing heavily in live wagering, which has become one of the fastest-growing segments of the industry.

What is DraftKings Moonshot?
Moonshot is built around individual at-bats during MLB betting.
Instead of wagering on a traditional outcome such as the winner of a game or whether a player will hit a home run, bettors select a target multiplier before a plate appearance begins. As the at-bat unfolds, different events contribute toward reaching that multiplier.
For example, outcomes such as balls, strikes, foul balls and hits each carry specific values. If the bettor reaches the selected multiplier before the batter records an out, the wager wins. If an out occurs before the target is reached, the bet loses.
The format creates a game-within-a-game experience, allowing bettors to stay engaged throughout individual moments rather than waiting for an entire game to conclude.
Live wagering continues to grow
The introduction of Moonshot reflects a broader industry trend toward more interactive wagering options.
Operators have increasingly focused on live products that allow customers to place wagers after games begin. Advances in technology and real-time data have made it possible for operators to offer constantly updated odds and new opportunities throughout sporting events.
For operators such as DraftKings, these products can help drive engagement by keeping bettors involved during key moments of a game. Corey Gottlieb, Chief Product Officer at DraftKings, said in a statement:
“DraftKings continues to lead the way in live betting by delivering innovative ways for fans to engage with the game as it happens.
“Moonshot adds to the excitement of betting on a live MLB game, bringing a fun multiplier mechanic to the action. We’re always looking for ways to make live sports more engaging for our customers.”
Baseball is particularly well-suited for live wagering because of its pitch-by-pitch structure. Each at-bat creates multiple opportunities for wagering, making it easier for operators to introduce new formats beyond traditional game lines and player props.

Another step in sports wagering innovation
DraftKings described Moonshot as part of its effort to expand the range of live-betting experiences available to customers.
The launch follows a wave of innovation across Michigan sportsbooks, where operators are increasingly experimenting with new game mechanics, micro-betting opportunities and interactive features designed to appeal to both casual and experienced bettors.
For Michigan sports bettors, Moonshot represents another option for engaging with MLB games in real time as operators continue pushing the boundaries of live wagering.
