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 available inside the MLB app (~$19.99/month or ~$99.99/season) that is not subject to local blackouts. Games exclusive to national broadcast partners — Netflix, NBC/Peacock, Apple TV, FOX, ESPN — are not included in MLB.TV. That’s not a blackout; those rights simply aren’t part of the package. No public MLB.TV blackout map exists for Latin American countries.
How Both Teams Are Playing
- Boston Red Sox: 73-61 (.545)
- New York Yankees: 76-58 (.567)
New York has a three-game cushion in the division race with the season winding down. The Yankees need to keep the pace; the Red Sox need to close the gap to stay in the playoff picture.
Starting Pitchers
- Boston — Jake Bennett (LHP): 8-6, 3.49 ERA, 1.07 WHIP, 67 strikeouts in 87.2 innings
- New York — Carlos Rodón (LHP): 4-2, 3.15 ERA, 1.21 WHIP, 58 strikeouts in 54.1 innings
Rodón carries the lower ERA, but Bennett has the edge in wins and — notably — in WHIP: 1.07 versus Rodón’s 1.21. That gap in baserunner control could be the deciding factor in a tight divisional matchup.
