MLB Playoffs Live Stream: How To Watch Los Angeles Dodgers vs. Chicago Cubs Game 5 For Free

With the Cubs and Dodgers tied at two games apiece, Game 5 of the NLCS is a must-watch for baseball fans! After a 10-2 drubbing at the hands of the Cubs in Game 4, the Dodgers will turn to Kenta Maeda (and not Clayton Kershaw) as the Cubs counter with Jon Lester. It’s as close to a “must-win” without technically being a “must-win” game when the Los Angeles Dodgers battle the Chicago Cubs!
