WATCH Yankees vs. Rangers Online Live Stream, Free MLB 2015 Game 1 Coverage

Baseball's back for the official 2015 MLB season!

The New York Yankees take the field against the Texas Rangers in Week 17 of the regular season on Monday, July 27 at 8:05 p.m. EST at the Globe Life Park in Arlington. 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 New York snags a rather high spot in ESPN.com's official break-down of all 30 teams (power rankings), Texas still lags a bit behind:

Yankees (8): "Alex Rodriguez is not slowing down, despite just turning 40. He hit four home runs last week, including three on Saturday against the Twins. And they weren't 'gimme' shots, averaging nearly 108 mph off the bat and traveling over 440 feet on average. Two of his HRs were the longest ones hit in both Target Field (450 feet) and Yankee Stadium (453 feet) this season." Jason Rosenberg, It's About the Money 

New York currently maintains an impressive 55-42 winning record, and is now 1st in the American League Eastern Division.

Rangers (17): "Texas is 4-1 in its last five games, and Prince Fielder leads the majors in hits (124). Next season's rotation would look mighty good if the Rangers land Cole Hamels via trade to go with Yu Darvish, Derek Holland, Martin Perez and either Nick Martinez, Chi Chi Gonzalez, Matt Harrison or Colby Lewis." Brandon Land, One Strike Away 

With that, Texas holds a steady 47-50 winning record and remains 3rd in the American League Western Division.

Tonight's ballgame will be broadcasted live on local sports channels YES and FSSW.
