WATCH Mets vs. Dodgers Online Live Stream: NLDS Tied Game 5, MLB 2015 Playoffs

The 2015 MLB playoffs are fast approaching - and things are finally heating-up!

The New York Mets take the field against the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 5 of the NLDS on Thursday, October 15 at 8:07 p.m. EST at the beloved Dodgers Stadium in California. Read on to see where fans can watch and listen to a live stream of the postseason ballgame online - also catch up-to-date feeds and coverage on highlight plays and scores.

According to The Sports Daily, LA holds a better chance against New York in an official breakdown of the eight remaining playoff teams:  

Dodgers (5): "Despite a third straight NL West crown, Don Mattingly's job could be on the line. He'll once again rely on the 1-2 punch of Zack Greinke and Clayton Kershaw to deliver. This Dodger duo put up remarkable numbers together, but their respective years won't be considered successful without success beyond the 162-game slate. With an offense that is hit-or-miss and a back end of the rotation that's tremendously questionable, the burden rests squarely on the two aces - both poised for (and capable of) a long-awaited breakthrough."

Mets (6): "The anticipation that was building over the past few seasons gives way to reality. At last, the Mets are overpowering opponents with an imposing - and emerging - young rotation. Ranked fourth in team ERA, a one-through-four staff of Jacob deGrom, Noah Syndergaard, Matt Harvey and Steven Matz poses a daunting prospect for any lineup. How they bridge the gap between the starters and closer Jeurys Familia remains a major question. So is New York's ability to beat the top NL teams, as the Mets offense got well against the league's bottom feeders."

The series is currently tied 2-2, which ultimately forces a Game 7 face-off. The Chicago Cubs cinched their NLD series against the St. Louis Cardinals earlier this week (3-2). The Toronto Blue Jays and Kansas City Royals both defeated the Texas Rangers and Houston Astros (respectively) in the ALDS, and will compete in Game 1 of the Championship Series on Friday night (October 16).

Tonight's monumental ballgame will be broadcasted live on local sports channel TBS.
