Beginning their quest for a second-straight trip to the World Series, the Cleveland Indians, who won 33 of the last 37 games to secure the top record in the American League, will take on the New York Yankees in the ALDS.
Game 2 will be broadcast on MLB Network, while the rest of the games in the series will be on Fox Sports 1. If you don’t have cable, you can watch a live stream via one of the following cable-free, live-TV services:
DirecTV Now: “Just Right” package gets you MLB Network and Fox Sports 1
Fubo TV: “Fubo Premier” package gets you Fox Sports 1

Each of these options includes a free trial, so you can watch the entire series (a potential Game 5 would be Wednesday, October 11) at no cost. You can sign up via the above links, or you can read on for a more thorough breakdown of what each service includes:
