WATCH Rays vs. White Sox Online Live Stream, Tampa Bay Sweep? Free MLB 2015 Game 3 Coverage

Baseball's back for the official 2015 MLB season!

The Tampa Bay Rays take the field against the Chicago White Sox in Week 18 of the regular season on Wednesday, August 5 at 2:10 p.m. EST at US Cellular Field in Illinois. 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 Tampa Bay snags a rather neutral standing in ESPN.com's official break-down of all 30 MLB teams (power rankings), Chicago still lags a few spots behind:

White Sox (20): "An actually decent month for the White Sox offense (.753 OPS in July) has placed them within an arm's length of the pack of AL wild-card contenders. But after a quiet trade deadline, they'll be hard-pressed to run down the Angels, the Twins or the souped-up Blue Jays." James Fegan, The Catbird Seat 

Chicago currently maintains a 50-55 winning record, and remains 4th in the American League Central Division.

Rays (16): "Technically sellers at the trade deadline, the Rays remain in contention for a playoff spot despite a prolonged slide down the standings and a roster lacking top-tier talent. In an effort to give the current group a boost, power prospect Richie Shaffer will join the club Monday in Chicago." Tommy Rancel, The Process Report 

With that, Tampa Bay holds a tied winning record of 54-54 and is now 4th in the American League Eastern Division. The Rays could sweep the current series with a Game 3 win.

This afternoon's final ballgame will be broadcasted live on local sports channel CSCh.
