A Note on MLB.TV
MLB.TV remains an out-of-market product. For 22 of 30 clubs, a separate in-market subscription is available inside the MLB app (~$19.99/month or ~$99.99/season) and is blackout-free locally. Games exclusive to national broadcast partners — FOX, ESPN, Netflix, NBC/Peacock, Apple TV — are not part of the MLB.TV package. That’s not a technical blackout; those rights simply aren’t included.
Series Standing
- Milwaukee Brewers: 1-0 (1.000)
- Tampa Bay Rays: 0-1 (.000)
Starting Pitchers
- Tampa Bay — Drew Rasmussen (RHP): 16-5, 2.67 ERA, 0.91 WHIP, 174 strikeouts in 172.0 IP
- Milwaukee — Logan Henderson (RHP): 11-3, 2.47 ERA, 0.84 WHIP, 110 strikeouts in 98.1 IP
What’s at Stake
Milwaukee wants to go up 2-0 and put Tampa Bay in a serious hole. The Rays, on the other hand, know that falling two games back in a World Series is a very difficult spot to climb out of. Both starters have been among the best in the game all season — Henderson’s 0.84 WHIP and Rasmussen’s 16 wins speak for themselves — so expect a tight, low-scoring game at American Family Field.
