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 blackout-free. Games exclusive to national streaming partners (Netflix, NBC/Peacock, Apple TV, FOX, ESPN) are not part of the MLB.TV package — that’s not a blackout, they simply aren’t included. No public blackout map exists for Latin American countries, so availability may vary.

Starting Pitchers
- Dodgers — Roki Sasaki: 5-5, 4.46 ERA, 1.29 WHIP, 108 strikeouts in 111.0 IP · RHP
- Rockies — Kyle Freeland: 4-10, 6.27 ERA, 1.44 WHIP, 98 strikeouts in 120.2 IP · LHP
Keys to the Game
The Dodgers arrive at Coors Field sitting comfortably at 76-51, looking to protect their playoff positioning. The Rockies, at 50-76, are deep in the standings and badly need wins to salvage what’s left of the season.
On the mound, Roki Sasaki (5-5, 4.46 ERA, 1.29 WHIP) has the clear edge over Kyle Freeland (4-10, 6.27 ERA, 1.44 WHIP). Freeland has struggled to keep runners off the bases all season, and facing a Dodgers lineup at a hitter-friendly park makes tonight a tough assignment.
