A Note on MLB.TV
MLB.TV remains an out-of-market product. For 22 of 30 clubs, there is a separate local in-market subscription sold inside the MLB app (~$19.99/month or ~$99.99/season) that is free of local blackouts. Games exclusive to national partners (Netflix, NBC/Peacock, Apple TV, FOX, ESPN) are not included in MLB.TV — that’s not a blackout, they simply aren’t part of the package. No public blackout map exists for Latin American countries, so availability may vary.

What to Watch For
Milwaukee comes in at 95-57 looking to keep the good times rolling deep into September. Pittsburgh, sitting at 75-77, is fighting to finish the season on a positive note — every win matters at this stage. Kyle Harrison (10-4, 3.98 ERA) gives the Brewers a reliable arm at the top, while Wilber Dotel (1-5, 4.84 ERA) will need to be sharper than his season numbers suggest to keep the Pirates in this one.
