WATCH Yankees vs. Braves 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 New York Yankees take the field against the Atlanta Braves in Week 21 of the regular season on Friday, August 28 at 7:35 p.m. EST at Turner Field in Georgia. 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), Atlanta still lags behind:

Yankees (5): "After sweeping the Twins in three games, the Yankees had trouble with the Indians and not only dropped three out of four at home, they also lost both Mark Teixeira and CC Sabathia to injury and watched their already slim lead in the AL East race evaporate and turn into a half-game deficit. With 39 games left it'll be interesting to see how the Yankees respond." Stacey Gotsulias, It's About the Money 

New York currently maintains a steady 69-57 winning record and now remains 2nd in the American League Eastern Division after losing a recent series against the Houston Astros earlier this week (2-1).

Braves (26): "The Braves are three games out ... of the competition for the first pick in next year's draft. It's obvious this young team, and especially its young pitching staff, is undergoing growing pains. But these talented pitchers are starting to remind people of the lessons they learned watching Tom Glavine, John Smoltz and Steve Avery in 1990 -- progress today doesn't necessarily lead to wins this season." Martin Gandy, Chop County 

With that, Atlanta holds a meager 54-73 winning record and maintains the 3rd spot in the National League Eastern Division.

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