A Note on MLB.TV
MLB.TV remains an out-of-market product. For 22 of 30 clubs, there is a separate in-market local subscription sold inside the MLB app (approximately $19.99/month or $99.99/season) that is blackout-free locally. Games exclusive to national streaming partners — Netflix, NBC/Peacock, Apple TV, FOX, ESPN — are not included in MLB.TV; that’s a rights issue, not a technical blackout. No public blackout map exists for Latin American countries, so availability may vary.
Team Records
- Colorado Rockies: 55-89 (.382)
- New York Yankees: 82-62 (.569)
Starting Pitchers
- Rockies — Tomoyuki Sugano (RHP): 12-8, 5.19 ERA, 1.35 WHIP, 79 strikeouts, 131.2 innings
- Yankees — Will Warren (RHP): 9-6, 4.16 ERA, 1.38 WHIP, 133 strikeouts, 136.1 innings
Keys to the Game
New York comes in as the clear favorite at 82-62, looking to lock down their position in the standings with the regular season winding down. Colorado, sitting at 55-89, is playing loose with nothing to lose.
On the mound, Will Warren (9-6, 4.16 ERA) has the edge in efficiency, while Tomoyuki Sugano (12-8, 5.19 ERA) leads in wins despite the higher ERA. Warren’s strikeout advantage is significant — 133 to 79 — and figures to be a factor against a Rockies lineup that hasn’t been easy to watch this year.
