WATCH Cubs vs. Mets Online Live Stream, Free MLB 2015 Game 3 Coverage

Baseball's back for the official 2015 MLB season!

The Chicago Cubs take the field against the New York Mets in Week 13 of the regular season on Thursday, July 2 at 1:10 p.m. EST at Citi Field in Flushing, NY. Read on to see where fans can watch and listen to a live stream of the Game 3 ballgame online - also catch up-to-date feeds and coverage on highlight plays and scores.

Both Chicago and New York maintain rather neutral spots in ESPN.com's official break-down of all 30 professional teams (power rankings):

Cubs (10): "Max Scherzer has turned in a start with at least eight innings pitched five times in 2015. By contrast, Jon Lester has failed to do it even once. Until the Cubs can get more from a pitcher they spent $155 million on, they cannot be considered legitimate World Series contenders." Joe Aiello, View from the Bleachers 

Chicago now holds an impressive 41-35 winning record and remains 3rd in the National League Central Division.

Mets (16): "The Mets' 29-11 (.725) home record is their best start at home in team history and second best in MLB this year. They've won three straight home series and swept seven home series this season. Curtis Granderson has hit safely in each of his last eight games, going 14-31 (.452) over that stretch, and he has seven home runs in June." Joe Janish, Mets Today 

With that, New York snags 40 wins and 39 losses and is now 2nd in the National League Central Division. The Cubs currently lead the series 2-0 heading into Game 3.

The ballgame will be broadcasted live on local sports channels SNY and WGN.
