The 2017 NLDS is tied at two apiece for the Chicago Cubs and Washington Nationals. Here’s what you need to know to watch Game 5 on TV and online.

The 2017 National League Division Series between the Washington Nationals and Chicago Cubs has been nothing short of a back and forth match as both teams have fought to stay even in this best of five series. The Cubs took Game 1 and 3 of the NLDS while the Washington Nationals rallied to win Game 2 and 4, including a decisive 5-0 shutout of the Cubs in Game 4 to force Game 5.

This might be the biggest game of the postseason for both teams with elimination on the line. The Nationals have yet to announce their starter for Game 5 while Chicago is going with Kyle Hendricks (RHP, 7-5, 3.03 ERA, 123 K). Hendricks was scoreless in seven innings in Game 1 of the NLDS against the Nats, facing off against Nationals’ ace, Stephen Strasburg.

At this point both teams have fought hard to move on to the National League Championship Series, but it’s a matter of which team can hang on to claim Game 5.
