Streaming the O's Playoff Run

[Aristotelian]

Have any cord cutters here researched the most efficient way to watch the O's playoff run? 

From what I can tell, we need FOX or FS1 for the divisional and ALCS, and FOX for the WS. 

Appears I can get FS1 but not Fox for $20 through SlingTV, but then I would have to do something else in the event we make the WS. 

Otherwise I see no option but one of the ~$70 live TV packages through Hulu, YouTube, or Fubo. (Pretty sure I have already exhausted my free trials). Seems like going for the live TV package right now would be overkill since we have perhaps 25% chance of making it.

Ideally I'd like to get the games on my Roku TV (i.e. no VPN), so I'm not sure the MLB.tv international package will work. Curious how others are approaching this.

To watch on FOX you can get an HD Antenna and get it over the air. You can get one on Amazon for ~$25-$30. That's one option at least.

Haven't tried that in a while but I live in a rural area with poor reception.

Read this article. Looks like you can use Sling if you select the combined Blue + Orange plans. 

Where to watch the 2023 MLB Playoff live streams from anywhere

Quote

Sling has all of the channels if you go for the combined Blue + Orange plan, with the caveat being that ABC is only available in eight markets. On the plus side, ABC is only airing the Tampa Bay Rays vs. Texas Rangers wild card games, so you only miss three inconsequential games going this route. Sling Blue + Orange costs $55 per month in most markets or $60 per month if you're in an area that includes ABC.

I've been a cord cutter for many years now, haven't really regretted it at all.  I have a HD antenna in my attic and will be watching all of the O's playoff games on FOX.

Some of them now have 400+ mile range. It's worth a look imho!

This. You can probably find the range of your fox affiliate online.

You can look up which signals are in your area. 
Several websites have it, this is one example:

Fox won’t have all the games. Some will be on FS1.  
 

One month of Hulu or FUBO is the easiest (but not cheapest way).

YouTube tv then cancel after the free month trial.

I'm outside of the local market with YouTube TV and MLBtv but assume all games will be televised from this point on.

Anyone know if not?

Local market doesn't matter anymore, everything will be national no blackouts

Thanks. I assumed as much, but I get nervous with Fox Sports 1.

MLB.tv forces you to link your network 'provider'  to your account in order to watch on their app.   Such a disgrace.  NFL+ allows me to stream the games I would normally get in my local area.  I get not broadcasting MASN games on their app, but NBC/ABC/FOX/FS1?  Come on!

I pay 60 for orange and blue package with sling. You also get Fox as part of the package. If it’s just one month it might be worth it.
