The final games of the crazy 2020 MLB season are upon us, and the best team in baseball has the advantage in the World Series. The Los Angeles Dodgers took a 2-1 lead last night with a lights-out performance from Walker Buehler, who became the first pitcher in World Series history to strike out 10 batters in six or fewer innings.
Tonight the Dodgers go for a commanding lead against the Tampa Bay Rays. Both teams send left-handed starters to the mound in Julio Urias for LA and Ryan Yarbrough for TB. CBS Sports predicts a 6-3 win for the Dodgers tonight, putting them a game away from the championship.
Game 4 of the World Series starts today, Friday Oct. 23, at 8 p.m. ET (5 p.m. PT) on Fox.

How can I watch the MLB playoffs without cable?
Fox is broadcasting the World Series. Fox is carried by the major live TV streaming services, but local availability varies. Check the links below to make sure Fox is available in your area.

Other ways to watch postseason baseball online
MLB.TV is great for watching out-of-market baseball games during the regular season, but it’s less useful for tuning into baseball’s postseason because you must be a subscriber to a participating pay TV provider. The list is short and can be found here. If you are a subscriber to one of the pay TV providers listed, the MLB.TV Postseason Package will run you $25. To sweeten the deal, the Postseason Package includes spring training games next year.
Another option if you’re a cable subscriber is using the Fox Sports Go app. Unlike the MLB.com At Bat, you can watch the World Series for free — well, for no more than you’re already paying for cable. The Fox Sports Go app works with iOS devices, Android devices and the Amazon Kindle Fire as well as with Apple TV, Android TV, Amazon Fire TV, Google Chromecast, Roku and Xbox. You can also access Fox Sports Go from a computer.
