MLB

The MLB channel on Pluto TV doesn't pretend to be a full replacement for MLB Network. It's a curated free stream built around nostalgia, classic games from the 70s, 80s, and 90s, plus highlight reels and quick-turnaround recaps. The mix leans heavy on Yankees and Red Sox matchups, so if you're not a fan of those teams, you'll see a lot of pinstripes anyway. But the lack of live current-season games is actually a relief for the casual fan: no blackouts, no cable login, no fuss. The stream runs 24/7 on Pluto's platform, and the ad breaks are roughly what you'd expect from free TV, not excessive, but present. Production quality is whatever the archive source was, so older games look grainy and composite. That's part of the charm. For a true baseball obsessive, this channel is thin. But for someone who wants a familiar sports backdrop while doing dishes, it works. You get to watch MLB live in the sense that the feed is always on, even if the games are decades old.
