Key keywords: MLB regular season live, Chicago Cubs vs San Francisco Giants series finale, Logan Webb Giants ace, ABC MLB broadcast, ESPN App live streaming, National League playoff race, Oracle Park home game, Chicago Cubs road matchup Baseball fans across the U.S. are gearing up for one of the most high-stakes late-season National League matchups of the 2024 campaign, as the Chicago Cubs visit the San Francisco Giants for their three-game series finale on Sunday, with Giants ace right-hander Logan Webb taking the mound. The contest is available to stream nationwide via the ESPN App, and is also being broadcast for free over-the-air on ABC, making it accessible to even casual fans without a paid cable or sports streaming subscription. Heading into the finale, the two teams split the first two games of the series: the Cubs took a 5-2 win on Friday behind 6 strong innings from starter Javier Assad, while the Giants bounced back with a 4-1 victory on Saturday, thanks to a 3-run home run from outfielder Mike Yastrzemski. The series decider carries massive playoff implications for both clubs: as of first pitch, the Giants sit half a game behind the Arizona Diamondbacks for the third and final National League Wild Card spot, while the Cubs are just 1 game back of the Diamondbacks, with less than three weeks left in the regular season. Webb, widely considered a fringe Cy Young Award candidate this season, enters the start with a 2.89 ERA across 187 innings pitched, with 174 strikeouts and just 38 walks on the year. His performance at home at Oracle Park has been particularly dominant: he holds a 2.12 ERA in 13 home starts in 2024, and has not allowed more than 2 earned runs in any of his past 5 outings at the park. The Cubs will counter with left-hander Jordan Wicks, who has posted a 3.21 ERA over his past 10 starts, emerging as a surprise reliable arm in the Cubs’ rotation down the stretch. The broadcast will kick off with a 30-minute pregame show at 6:30 PM ET, exclusively on the ESPN App, featuring analysis from former MLB players Jessica Mendoza and Mark Teixeira, plus live interviews from the dugouts and real-time advanced stat breakdowns. The main game broadcast will begin at 7:10 PM ET, available both on ABC and the ESPN App for authenticated cable subscribers, as well as ESPN+ subscribers. League officials note that this is one of only 10 regular season MLB games scheduled to air on over-the-air broadcast TV in 2024, making it a rare chance for casual fans to tune into high-stakes baseball without a paid sports package. Fans tuning in via the ESPN App will also get access to alternate camera angles, including a live strike zone overlay and player mic feeds for the entirety of the contest.
