Week 7 of the 2021 MLB regular season starts today with a loaded lineup of nationally televised games. ESPN, ESPN+, MLBN, FS1, and YouTube will be the home of this week’s national games, with various regional sports networks providing the local broadcasts. The season is picking up as teams are trying to separate themselves from the rest of the crop. Fans will be back in attendance throughout the league; however, cord cutters can find out how to watch all of this week’s nationally televised MLB games below.

Los Angeles Angels at Houston Astros8:00 p.m. ETESPN, Bally Sports West, & AT&T SportsNet-Southwest

Last week, Reds pitcher Wade Miley threw a no-hitter against the Cleveland Indians. Miley is a big reason why the club is 15-16 and making some noise in the NL Central. They will travel to Pittsburgh to take on the 14-19 Pirates on ESPN+. The 14-19 Pirates are coming off of a 6-5 victory against the Cubs.

The 18-16 Astros still have a dark cloud over their heads after their cheating scandal and lack of punishment; however, the club is currently in second place in the AL West. The 15-18 Angels are at the bottom of the AL West and will look to play spoiler to their division rivals.
