If you don’t have cable, you’ll need a live TV streaming service to stream the MLB playoffs for free. One option we love is DIRECTV, which comes with a five-day free trial and starts at $49.99/month for genre packs, with plenty of subscription options and genre packs that include FOX.

Baseball might not have a game clock, but that doesn’t mean it can’t test your endurance. As yesterday’s Dodgers vs. Blue Jays proves, yet again, some World Series games don’t just flirt with midnight;

Eric Lauer (.629 WPA). 4.2 innings, 2 hits, 4 walks, 2 strikeouts, no runs against. Alejandro Kirk (.376 WPA). He was 2 for 4, with a home run, 4 RBI, 2 walks. And he threw out Ohtani stealing. Jeff Hoffman (.275). 2.0 innings, 1 hit, 1 walk, 1 strikeout, no runs against.

The Toronto Blue Jays defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 11-4 ( box score) on Friday night in Game 1 of the World Series. The Dodgers struck first and the two sides eventually entered the bottom of the sixth tied, but the Blue Jays scored nine runs behind a history-making Addison Barger grand slam and turn a tight contest into a boat race.
