The 2015 MLB playoffs are fast approaching - and things are finally heating-up!

The Houston Astros take the field against the New York Yankees in Week 27 of the regular season on Tuesday, October 6 at 8:08 p.m. EST at beloved Yankee Stadium in the Bronx. Read on to see where fans can watch and listen to a live stream of the American League Wild Card ballgame online - also catch up-to-date feeds and coverage on highlight plays and scores.

So, does New York or Houston hold the edge in ESPN.com's updates break-down of all 30 teams (power rankings), now that the Toronto Blue Jays and Texas Rangers cinched both divisions?

Yankees (9): "The Yankees opened the regular season with a mountain of questions and they ended it the same way. While they clinched a playoff spot, no one's quite sure which Yankees squad will show up in October: the one that played well for the first four months or the one that sputtered its way through August and September." Stacey Gotsulias, It's About the Money 

New York currently maintains a steady 87-75 winning record and remains 2nd in the American League Eastern Division.

Astros (10): They're back in the playoffs for the first time since losing the 2005 World Series. They also tied with the Blue Jays for the MLB lead with 230 home runs, Dallas Keuchel won 20 games and maybe the AL Cy Young Award and Carlos Correa's star arrived. It's just the start of a bright future." David Schoenfield, SweetSpot 

With that, Houston also holds a similar 86-76 winning record and maintains the 2nd spot in the American League Western Division.

Tonight's ballgame will be broadcasted live on local sports channel ESPN.
