WATCH Mets vs. Cubs Live Stream Online: New York Leads NLCS Game 3, MLB Playoffs

The final games of the 2015 MLB postseason are fast approaching - and things are finally heating-up!

The New York Mets take the field against the Chicago Cubs in Game 3 of the National League Championship Series on Tuesday, October 20 at 8:07 p.m. EST from beloved Wrigley Field in Illinois. Read on to see where fans can watch and listen to a live stream of the highly-anticipated division championship ballgame online - also catch up-to-date feeds and coverage on highlight plays and scores.

According to The Sports Daily, Chicago initially held a better chance against New York in an official breakdown of the four remaining teams:

Cubs: "By shutting down the Pirates on Wednesday, Jake Arrieta can embark a road where few travel. It's one thing to be historically hot in the regular season. It's another to continue that hot streak into the postseason. There's no reason to believe he can't keep it up against the rival Cardinals. But Jake's magic act isn't the only Chicago showstopper. He's supported by several young standouts in the lineup (namely Anthony Rizzo and rookie Kris Bryant) who possess the talent which can offset inexperience along with a manger who's been here before."

Mets: "The anticipation that was building over the past few seasons gives way to reality. At last, the Mets are overpowering opponents with an imposing - and emerging - young rotation. Ranked fourth in team ERA, a one-through-four staff of Jacob deGrom, Noah Syndergaard, Matt Harvey and Steven Matz poses a daunting prospect for any lineup. How they bridge the gap between the starters and closer Jeurys Familia remains a major question. So is New York's ability to beat the top NL teams, as the Mets offense got well against the league's bottom feeders."

Still, NY managed a Game 1 and 2 victory over Chicago just last week. Daniel Murphy (second baseman) is on fire (via ESPN):

Say this for Daniel Murphy and the New York Mets: They have their October formula down and are sticking with it.

Murphy homered off yet another ace to provide an early cushion for Noah Syndergaard, and the Mets breezed past Jake Arrieta the Chicago Cubs 4-1 Sunday night for a 2-0 lead in a surprisingly one-sided NL Championship Series.

Power, pitching, plus some dazzling defense -- just like the Amazin' Mets of 1969.

"We've beaten some of the best the game has to offer," Mets captain David Wright said.

Baseball's most dominant pitcher since the All-Star break, Arrieta had not even settled in when Murphy homered for the fourth straight game, a two-run drive just inside the right-field pole in a three-run first inning.

"We're having a whole bunch of fun right now," said Murphy, who homered in the first inning for the second straight game and seems to have a reserved star-of-the-game seat in the interview room.

New York cinched the NLDS against the Los Angeles Dodgers, while Chicago snagged a victory over the St. Louis Cardinals. The Kansas City Royals faced-off against the Toronto Blue Jays in Game 4 of the American League Championship Series earlier Tuesday afternoon.
