A Note on MLB.TV
MLB.TV remains an out-of-market product. For 22 of 30 clubs, a separate local in-market subscription is available inside the MLB app (≈$19.99/month or ≈$99.99/season), and it is blackout-free locally. Games that air exclusively on national partners (Netflix, NBC/Peacock, Apple TV, FOX, ESPN) are not included in MLB.TV — that’s a rights issue, not a technical blackout. No public blackout map exists for Latin American countries, so availability can vary.

- Atlanta Braves: 76-55 (.580)
Starting Pitchers

- Braves — Bryce Elder (RHP): 8-7, 3.92 ERA, 1.23 WHIP, 113 strikeouts in 137.2 innings
Keys to the Game
Los Angeles comes in as the clear favorite, and the pitching matchup is a big reason why. Tyler Glasnow has been nearly untouchable in his last three starts — 3-0 with a 2.72 ERA and a razor-thin 0.83 WHIP. Bryce Elder has been solid enough for Atlanta at 8-7 with a 3.92 ERA, but the edge in command and efficiency belongs firmly to the visitor.
For the Braves, closing the gap on Los Angeles in the standings makes tonight a must-win situation. At 76-55, Atlanta can’t afford to drop ground with the regular season winding down.
