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 streaming 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 blackout map exists for Latin American countries, so availability may vary.
How Both Teams Are Doing
- San Francisco Giants: 52-75 (.409)

Starting Pitchers
- Giants — Logan Webb: 8-7, 3.50 ERA, 1.06 WHIP, 110 strikeouts in 139.0 IP · RHP
- Red Sox — Sonny Gray: 15-3, 2.65 ERA, 1.15 WHIP, 117 strikeouts in 132.2 IP · RHP
Keys to the Game
Boston comes in with a 68-59 record and firmly in the hunt. San Francisco is in a tough spot at 52-75, making every win critical as they try to keep any slim postseason hopes alive.
The pitching matchup tilts heavily toward the Red Sox. Sonny Gray has been nearly untouchable this season — 15 wins, just 3 losses, and a 2.65 ERA. Logan Webb is a quality arm with a 3.50 ERA, but his 8-7 record tells the story of a more uneven year. Gray is the clear edge in this one.
