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 (~$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 technical blackout, they simply aren’t part of the package. No public blackout map exists for Latin American countries, so availability may vary.
How Both Teams Are Playing
- Kansas City Royals: 49–71 (.408)
- Los Angeles Dodgers: 71–48 (.597)
The Dodgers are comfortably positioned in the division race and looking to hold their ground. The Royals, at 49–71, need wins to salvage what’s left of their season. Both sides have clear motivation — LA to pad its lead, Kansas City to keep fighting.
Starting Pitchers
- Royals — Michael Wacha (RHP): 5–8, 3.44 ERA, 1.15 WHIP, 112 strikeouts in 144.0 innings
- Dodgers — Blake Snell (LHP): 0–1, 12.00 ERA, 2.67 WHIP, 5 strikeouts in 3.0 innings
On paper, the pitching matchup favors Kansas City. Wacha has been steady all season — a 3.44 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 112 strikeouts speak for themselves. Snell, on the other hand, is coming off a rough debut: 12.00 ERA and a 2.67 WHIP in just three innings of work. The Dodgers will need a much better outing from their lefty to stay comfortable tonight.
