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 locally. 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 we won’t make categorical claims about blackouts in MX/VE/DO/PR.
How Both Teams Are Playing
- Kansas City Royals: 49-71 (.408)
- Los Angeles Dodgers: 71-48 (.597)
Starting Pitchers
- Royals — Michael Wacha (RHP): 5-8, 3.44 ERA, 1.15 WHIP, 112 strikeouts, 144.0 IP
- Dodgers — Blake Snell (LHP): 0-1, 12.00 ERA, 2.67 WHIP, 5 strikeouts, 3.0 IP
Keys to the Game
The Dodgers are heavy favorites at 71-48, looking to protect their standing as the regular season winds down. The Royals (49-71) need wins to stay relevant in the divisional race.
The pitching matchup, on paper, tilts toward Kansas City’s starter. Michael Wacha has been steady all year — 3.44 ERA, 1.15 WHIP, 112 strikeouts. Blake Snell, meanwhile, is in a rough patch: a 12.00 ERA and 2.67 WHIP in his lone start (0-1) give the visiting Royals a real opening to steal one on the road.
