Aces in all kinds of places on MLB.TV
- Updated: August 3, 2016
Today’s full schedule of Major League games features starts from a quartet of aces, including Max Scherzer on the mound for the Nationals, Chris Sale getting the ball for the White Sox, Cole Hamels going for the Rangers and Johnny Cueto taking the hill for the Giants.
All of those big-name arms are starting for first-place clubs, with the exception of Sale. Another division leader, the Cubs, gets things going today when they host the Wild Card-contending Marlins in the first game on the schedule. In addition, the Mets and Yankees shift their Subway Series to the Bronx, with the Yankees expected to promote catching prospect Gary Sanchez before tonight’s game.
And the best place to watch all the action is on MLB.TV.
MLB.TV Premium has returned with the same features as last year, and is only $17.99 for a limited time. That price is in honor of the 18 Deadline-day deals we witnessed on Monday, the most in the Majors since at least 1995. This package has the best value and provides access to more than 400 devices and a free subscription to the MLB.com At Bat Premium app (a $19.99 value). It offers the best picture quality ever — a new 60 frames per second — for supported devices. Monthly signups for MLB.TV Premium are now underway as well for $24.99.
The new MLB.TV Single Team package is also available as a $39.99 yearly subscription. You can watch a single team’s live out-of-market games in full HD.

Scherzer eyes strikeout lead: WSH@ARI, 3:40 p.m. Scherzer faces the team that drafted him in the first round in the 2006 Draft (No. 11 overall). He owns a lifetime 2.25 ERA in three starts against Arizona, with 23 strikeouts and six walks in 20 innings. Scherzer is 1-0 with a 1.71 ERA since the All-Star break. He needs six strikeouts to pass Miami’s Jose Fernandez (192) for the MLB lead.
Zack Godley makes his sixth start of the season for the D-backs. He’s 3-1 with a 5.53 ERA as a starter this year, and he recorded a quality start in his last outing against the Dodgers.
Stat that matters: Nationals outfielder Jayson Werth has reached base in 35 straight games, the longest active …
