TV Subscriptions for Games: MLB Network vs MLBTV vs Channel Add ons through TV provider (Xfinity, DirectTV, etc) What does everyone like/have and why?

Hi everyone! As the title implies I’m looking into getting either a subscription or channel add on so that I can watch Astros games this season. I recently cancelled my DirectTV bc of how expensive it’s been but am not at a crossroads of what the best option is. In looking at MLBTV since I’m w/o a cable provider it looks like you need a VPN to avoid game blackouts but appears to potentially be the cheapest.

Some of my considerations are: 1.) I’d like to have as much access to Astros games as possible without blackout restrictions (spring training games would be great also) 2.) Access to other team games (I like to watch Yankees, Orioles, and Rangers games on occasion and to follow ROY hopefuls as a card collector) 3.)Playoffs coverage is also really important

So, what game coverage plan do y’all have and why? Any pros/cons or lessons learned that led you to what you currently have?

Thanks for y’all’s help 😎
