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 (roughly $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 included in 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.

Starting Pitchers
- Detroit — Framber Valdez 🇩🇴: 6–7, 4.41 ERA, 1.39 WHIP, 98 strikeouts in 120.1 innings · Left-handed · Born in Palenque, Dominican Republic
- Seattle — Bryce Miller: 4–5, 2.80 ERA, 0.92 WHIP, 74 strikeouts in 74.0 innings · Right-handed
Keys to the Game
The pitching matchup tilts Seattle’s way on paper. Bryce Miller has been sharp — a 2.80 ERA and 0.92 WHIP are genuine ace-level numbers. Framber Valdez, while a proven veteran, comes in with a 4.41 ERA and 1.39 WHIP, numbers that suggest Detroit’s offense will need to do some heavy lifting if the Tigers want to steal one on the road.
With both teams this close in the standings, there’s no throw-away game here. Expect a tight, competitive afternoon in Seattle.
