Pretty much all of the MLB stuff (except for playoffs) is cable only. NFL will at least of the either Monday or Thursday game along with your local on Sunday.

Even the playoffs for MLB are cable only.

OTA FOX only gets one or two playoffs games and the World Series.
In previous years it was possible to watch most of the games online via "live alternative video feeds (excluding the broadcast feed)", and now even that is not allowed.

I suspect that some league (NHL perhaps?) will specifically exclude webcasting from its next huge TV contract. Or it will extract a higher price not to be the first to do so. It will be the beginning of the end for regional sports channels, and eventually for ESPN.
For the cost of one to two months of Cable TV you can get all the regular season games online; since I'm a fan of an out-of-market team anyway, it's a no brainer for me.
