What Is at Stake
Arizona’s season comes down to stretches like this one. Two games behind the Padres for the third NL wild card with a dozen left, the Diamondbacks need to win series at home while San Diego plays four at Coors. Miami has been better than its record for most of the second half and is sending its best starter to open, so this is not the soft landing Arizona would have drawn up. Burnes on the other side is the matchup that makes the game worth watching regardless of the standings.
How to Watch Without Cable
MLB.TV carries the game outside Phoenix and Miami. In market, both clubs stream their regional broadcasts directly, and Fubo and DirecTV Stream carry the networks in their home territories.
