A Note on MLB.TV
MLB.TV remains an out-of-market product. For 22 of 30 clubs, a separate in-market local subscription is available inside the MLB app (approximately $19.99/month or $99.99/season), and that subscription is blackout-free locally. Games exclusive to national broadcast partners — Netflix, NBC/Peacock, Apple TV, FOX, ESPN — are not part of the MLB.TV package; that’s a rights issue, not a technical blackout. No public blackout map exists for Latin American countries, so availability may vary.

Keys to the Game
New York arrives in Baltimore sitting at 69-55, looking to protect its lead in the division race. The Orioles are clinging to a wild-card spot at 61-64, making every win critical for their postseason hopes.
Rodón has been sharp lately — a 3.30 ERA and 1.25 WHIP speak to his command. Baz has had a rough year record-wise at 4-12, but his 122 strikeouts show he can miss bats. The matchup sets up as a classic pitching-versus-persistence situation: a locked-in Yankees ace against a Baltimore arm that can be dangerous on any given night.
