WATCH Dodgers vs. Phillies Online Live Stream, Series Tied: Free MLB 2015 Game 3 Coverage

Baseball's back for the official 2015 MLB season!

The Los Angeles Dodgers take the field against the Philadelphia Phillies in Week 18 of the regular season on Thursday, August 6 at 1:05 p.m. EST at Citizens Bank Park in Pennsylvania. Read on to see where fans can watch and listen to a live stream of the Game 3 afternoon ballgame online - also catch up-to-date feeds and coverage on highlight plays and scores.

While LA maintains a top spot in ESPN.com's official break-down of all 30 professional teams (power rankings), Philly still remains at the very bottom:

Dodgers (4): "The Dodgers bolstered their pitching for the stretch run with trades for Luis Avilan, Jim Johnson, Alex Wood and Mat Latos. Clayton Kershaw extended his scoreless innings streak to 37 with a two-hitter over eight innings on Saturday. Yasmani Grandal hit his 15th homer Saturday. Paul Lo Duca was the last Dodger to hit 20 homers as a catcher in a season (2001)." Diane Firstman, Value Over Replacement Grit 

Los Angeles now holds an impressive 61-46 winning record and remains 1st in the National League Western Division.

Phillies (30): "Hey, give them credit for playing some good baseball. Even though Cole Hamels, Jonathan Papelbon and Ben Revere were shipped out at the trade deadline, the Phillies have gone 12-3 since the All-Star break, best in the majors." David Schoenfield, SweetSpot 

With that very meager ranking, Philly holds a 42-66 winning record and snags the bottom 5th spot in the National League Eastern Division. The series is currently tied heading into Game 3.

The Thursday afternoon ballgame will be broadcasted live on local sports channels SNLA and CSPh.
