he 2014 MLB regular season is officially over. Now, several teams will compete to make it to the championship rounds!

The San Francisco Giants battle the Washington Nationals in Game 1 of the NLDS on Friday, October 3rd at 3:07 p.m. at Nationals Park in DC. Read on to see where fans can watch and listen to a live stream of the afternoon baseball game online and catch up-to-date feeds and coverage on highlight plays and scores.

Wrapping-up the regular season, the Giants snagged the No. 8 spot in ESPN.com's official MLB power rankings with a 88-74 winning record:

"The Giants finished the season with a modest 88-74 record. The players are over the 9½-game blown lead. Injuries and inconsistent hitting led to the demise of the team. Projected 2015 rotation has only two names penciled in -- Madison Bumgarner and Tim Hudson -- which should make for an active offseason." -- Connor Grossman (@GiantsBaseball), West Coast Bias 

Meanwhile, the Nationals finished at the No. 2 spot with an 96-66 winning record (out of 30 teams):

"Capped by Jordan Zimmermann's no-hitter on Sunday, the Nats' starting rotation has gone 13 straight starts allowing two or fewer earned runs. The rotation didn't allow more than three runs in a start in the entire month of September." -- Harper Gordek (@harpergordek), Nationals Baseball 

The Cardinals and Dodgers are also competing in the NLDS.
