Baseball's back for the official 2015 MLB season, and things are finally heating-up!

The Chicago Cubs take the field against the St. Louis Cardinals in Week 23 of the regular season on Wednesday, September 9 at 1:45 p.m. EST at Busch Stadium in Missouri. Read on to see where fans can watch and listen to a live stream of the final Game 3 afternoon ballgame online - also catch up-to-date feeds and coverage on highlight plays and scores.

Both St. Louis and Chicago currently snag top spots in ESPN.com's official break-down of all 30 professional teams (power rankings):

Cardinals (1): " The Cardinals are getting healthier -- outfielders Jon Jay and Randal Grichuk recently returned from the disabled list -- and Jaime Garcia helped lower the team ERA to an MLB-best 2.73, nearly a half run better than the next-best team." Matt Philip, Fungoes 

St. Louis now holds an extremely impressive 87-51 winning record and remains 1st in the National League Central Division.

Cubs (6): "Cubs rookies have 29 game-winning RBIs this season, which is the most by any group of rookies in the majors. The Phillies are second with 16." Joe Aiello, View from the Bleachers 

With that, Chicago maintains a close 80 wins and 57 losses and is still 3rd in the National League Central Division. The Cubs managed two wins earlier this week, and could sweep the current series with another victory today.

The Wednesday afternoon ballgame will be broadcasted live on local sports channels FSMW and CSCh.
