NLDS Game 1 live stream: Watch Nationals vs Dodgers online
By Dan Israeli
Live stream Game 1 of the National League Division Series featuring the Washington Nationals and Los Angeles Dodgers at Nationals Park on Friday, Oct. 7.
The NL East Champion Washington Nationals (95-67) will square off with the NL West Champion Los Angeles Dodgers (91-71) in one of two NLDS matchups, which opens with Game 1 on Friday, Oct. 7, at 5:38 p.m., ET.
The Nationals have home-field advantage in a series where their opponent had a losing road record this season, but the Dodgers have a good chance to steal Game 1 with ace Clayton Kershaw on the mound (12-4, 1.69 ERA).
Of course, the Nationals will throw out 2016 Cy Young contender Max Scherzer (20-7, 2.96 ERA), so we should all expect another epic pitcher’s duel in this postseason. The game can be watched live on FOX Sports 1 (FX1), but can also be live-streamed online at foxsportsgo.com.
Cable subscribers will be able to log into the website with their account info on both desktop and mobile devices. The FOX Sports GO app also supports Xbox One through the Universal Windows Platform.
The broadcast booth for the game will consist of play-by-play man Kenny Albert and color commentators Harold Reynolds and Tom Verducci, with field reporter John Paul Morosi. The teams are scheduled to play Game 2 on Saturday at 4:08 p.m. ET, through the same FS1 services.

The Dodgers have had a lot of injuries this season, but enter the postseason mostly healthy compared to the Nationals’ big losses. Kershaw has been magnificent since returning from the DL in September (1.29 ERA), following a back injury that kept the three-time Cy Young winner out for over two months.
