Baseball's back for the official 2015 MLB season!
The Houston Astros take the field against the Baltimore Orioles in Week 8 of the regular season on Monday, May 25 at 1:35 p.m. EST at Oriole Park at Camden Yards in Maryland. Read on to see where fans can watch and listen to a live stream of the Memorial Day ballgame online - also catch up-to-date feeds and coverage on highlight plays and scores.
While Houston snags a top spot in Joel Reuter's official breakdown of all 30 MLB teams (power rankings) for Bleacher Report, Baltimore lags a bit behind:
Astros (2): "Facing off against another one of the top dogs in the American League, the Houston Astros managed to split a four-game series with the Tigers in Detroit, and that's enough to have them knocking on the door for the No. 1 spot in these rankings once again. With another terrific start last week, ace Dallas Keuchel is now 6-0 with a 1.67 ERA, 0.974 WHIP and a 3.0 WAR that is tops among all American League players, pitcher or otherwise. He'd likely be your AL Cy Young if the season ended today. Outfielder Preston Tucker (.324/.419/.595, 4 2B, 2 HR, 7 RBI) has made some noise in 13 games of action since being called up from the minors, and he could wind up being the centerpiece of a trade to acquire more pitching. 'The Astros, looking for starting pitching, have plenty of prospects to peddle. Preston Tucker, who can't find room in the Astros' outfield, seems to be available,' wrote Jon Heyman of CBS Sports."
Houston currently snags a 29-16 winning record.
Orioles (17): "The Baltimore Orioles took two of three from the Seattle Mariners to open last week, but they dropped a series to the Miami Marlins over the weekend. That leaves them in fourth place but just three games back in the AL East standings. Jimmy Paredes now officially has enough at-bats to qualify for the batting title, and he is currently tied for second in the league with a .344 mark. Add in seven doubles, six home runs and 25 RBI, and he's undoubtedly one of the biggest breakout stars of 2015. However, a .407 BABIP, 24 percent HR/FB ratio and 4.5 percent walk rate, per FanGraphs, are all red flags for regression to come. On the pitching side, Mike Wright followed up his terrific debut (7.1 IP, 4 H, 0 ER) with another strong start (7.0 IP, 3 H, 0 ER), and he's certainly making a case to hold on to his spot with Bud Norris currently rehabbing in the minors."
Baltimore now holds 19 wins and 22 losses.
