NFT: MLB national blackout/streaming schedule

Interestingly, the Yankees aren't on the streaming schedule at all.

I tried the 1 st week they were on Amazon. I have mlb ticket and Amazon prime and since I live in California I was blacked out. Are you saying some of the Amazon games I will be able to watch?

Never checked other games thinking they are all blacked out unless in the ny market.
