A Note on MLB.TV
MLB.TV remains an out-of-market product. Twenty-two of 30 clubs now offer a separate local in-market subscription inside the MLB app (~$19.99/month or ~$99.99/season) that is blackout-free. Games exclusive to national streaming 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. There is no public MLB.TV blackout map for Latin American countries, so availability may vary.
How Both Teams Are Sitting
- St. Louis Cardinals: 56–58 (.491)
- New York Yankees: 64–50 (.561)
Starting Pitchers
- Cardinals — Andre Pallante (RHP): 11–6, 3.72 ERA, 1.22 WHIP, 86 strikeouts in 118.2 innings
- Yankees — Will Warren (RHP): 8–5, 4.14 ERA, 1.36 WHIP, 109 strikeouts in 108.2 innings
Keys to the Game
The Yankees come in as the clear home favorites at 64–50, while the Cardinals at 56–58 need every win they can get to stay relevant. Pallante has been one of the more reliable arms in St. Louis this season — an 11-6 record and 3.72 ERA with a tidy 1.22 WHIP tells the story. Warren brings more strikeout punch with 109 Ks on the year, but his 4.14 ERA and 1.36 WHIP leave some room for the Cardinals to do damage.
