A Note on MLB.TV
MLB.TV remains an out-of-market product. For 22 of 30 clubs, a separate in-market local subscription is available inside the MLB app (approximately $19.99/month or $99.99/season), which is blackout-free locally. Games exclusive to national broadcast 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. No public MLB.TV blackout map exists for Latin American countries.
Starting Pitchers
- Mets — Zac Thornton (LHP): 3-5, 3.53 ERA, 1.19 WHIP, 51 strikeouts in 66.1 innings
- Yankees — Gerrit Cole (RHP): 8-8, 3.41 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, 113 strikeouts in 111.0 innings
Keys to the Game
The Yankees enter as clear favorites, looking to pad their lead in the final stretch of the regular season. Cole holds the edge in every major pitching category — better ERA, better WHIP, and more than double the strikeouts — while Thornton will need to keep his composure in a hostile Bronx environment.
For the Mets, wins are running out. At 68-79, every game matters if they want to keep any postseason conversation going. A road win over the Yankees would be a statement.
