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 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, so availability may vary.

Keys to the Game
The Dodgers come in at 96–60, firmly in command of their playoff position. The Padres, at 87–69, are looking to close out the regular season on a high note heading into October. Michael King has been steady all year — a 3.03 ERA and 1.16 WHIP tell the story — and he’ll need to keep the potent LA lineup in check for San Diego to have a shot.
