WATCH Dodgers vs. Athletics Online Live Stream, Free MLB 2015 Game 1 Coverage

Baseball's back for the official 2015 MLB season, and things are finally heating-up!

The Los Angeles Dodgers take the field against the Oakland Athletics in Week 20 of the regular season on Tuesday, August 18 at 10:05 p.m. EST at O.co Coliseum in California. Read on to see where fans can watch and listen to a live stream of the Game 1 evening ballgame online - also catch up-to-date feeds and coverage on highlight plays and scores.

While Los Angeles maintains a rather high spot in ESPN.com's official break-down of all 30 professional teams (power rankings), Oakland still lags way behind:

Dodgers (7): "Tough schedule ahead: The Dodgers play 18 of their next 24 on the road, with the home games against the Cubs and Giants. Clayton Kershaw became the 10th pitcher in history to have at least 200 strikeouts in six straight seasons. The only other Dodger to achieve the feat was Sandy Koufax (1961-66)." Diane Firstman, Value Over Replacement Grit 

Los Angeles now holds an impressive 67-51 winning record and remains 1st in the National League Western Division.

Athletics (27): "The A's were winless last week (0-6), as they were outscored 48-18. Times sure are bad in Oakland." ESPN.com 

With that, Oakland snags 51 wins and 69 losses and is now 5th in the American League Western Division.

Tonight's ballgame will be broadcasted live on local sports channels SNLA and CSCA.
