As it did in 2015, 2016 and 2017, DIRECTV is including a free subscription to MLB.TV with the Extra Innings package. MLB.TV, which normally costs $112.99, allows subscribers to watch the games over the Internet on connected devices.

The DIRECTV plan also includes the MLB Strike Zone Channel, a highlights feed, and the Game Mix channel, which can display up to eight games on screen at the same time.
Several other TV providers, including Verizon, Comcast and Cox, have offered MLB Extra Innings in the past. But they have yet to reveal details for their 2018 plans. Usually, the difference (if any) in the Extra Innings price among the providers is only a few dollars.

Only 90 games? That doesn’t sound right. Did you mean per week?
Correct.
and with most of them available with DUAL FEEDS in High-Definition.
and of course the Phillies games will be blacked out again this year in Pennsylvannia because of corporate greed
Is DirecTV doing the first week as a free preview for MLB Extra Innings again, like they normally do?
Dish is, but have not seen announcement for Directv.
Yes, Direct TV is doing it right now, thru 4/4 I believe,
We should get a refund for games only available on Facebook.
