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

Starting Pitchers
- Giants — Anthony Molina (RHP, Venezuela 🇻🇪): 1-0, 2.89 ERA, 0.96 WHIP, 3 strikeouts, 9.1 innings pitched

What to Watch
Atlanta arrives in playoff position at 82–55, looking to lock up ground in the final stretch of August. San Francisco, at 56–81, is fighting to avoid a dismal finish to the season.
The pitching matchup is the story. Anthony Molina, the Venezuelan righty from San Joaquín, takes the mound undefeated with a 2.89 ERA and a 0.96 WHIP — numbers that scream pinpoint command. He’ll face Bryce Elder, who has been steady for Atlanta at 8-7 with a 3.95 ERA and 118 strikeouts on the year. If Molina keeps that control going, San Francisco has a real shot at an upset.
