Watch Kansas City Royals Vs. Houston Astros Live Online: Crucial ALDS Game 3 In 1-1 Series, Streaming

The American League Division Series pitting the 95-win Kansas City Royals against the Wild Card Houston Astros — who won just 86 during the regular season to finish second in the AL Central — is deadlocked at 1-1, and fans can watch live online as the action moves to Houston, where the Astros send their ace to the mound in hopes of gaining what could be a decisive upper hand.

After dropping the opener at home, the Royals came back to edge the Astros 5-4 in Game Two, thanks to an RBI single in the bottom of the seventh by Ben Zobrist, which held up as the winning run with Wade Davis pitching the ninth for a save.

Dallas Keuchel, the 27-year-old lefty picked by Houston in the seventh round of the 2009 draft out of the University of Arkansas, was the AL’s only 20 game winner, posting a 2.48 ERA in 33 starts to make him a favorite to win the AL Cy Young Award in 2015. As if Keuchel’s stellar regular season wasn’t good enough, last Tuesday, he blanked the New York Yankees through seven innings in Yankee Stadium to win the AL Wild Card one-game playoff.

Perhaps most important when it comes to Sunday’s game, Keuchel has been literally unbeatable at Houston’s Minute Maid Park this year. In 18 starts on the Astros’ home field this season, Keuchel won 15 while taking just three no decisions and no losses — including two complete game shutouts. Keuchel, who threw almost 50 percent sinkerballs throughout the season, seems to have found the formula for keeping runners off the bases in Minute Maid Park, posting a minuscule 0.889 WHIP (walks plus hits per innings pitched) at home.

To find out how to watch the Kansas City Royals vs. Houston Astros AL Division Series Game Three live online, see the streaming info at the bottom of this article. Game time is set for 3 p.m. Central Time at Minute Maid Park in Houston, Texas — 3 p.m. Eastern Time, 1 p.m. Pacific.

While the Kansas City offense, which ranked sixth in the AL with 724 runs scored, will have its work cut out for it against Keuchel, the Royals are placing their fate in the hands of veteran journeyman Edinson Volquez, who topped 200 innings for the first time in his 11-year career, and his first year in Kansas City after pitching for five previous teams.

Volquez faced the Astros just once in his 33 starts, back on July 1 in Houston, and it did not go well for him. Astros hitters shelled the 32-year-old (who was actually still 31 at the time) for five runs and eight hits — including two round-trippers — in five innings to hand Volquez the loss in a game that ended up with a 6-5 score.

But, the Dominican Republic native did manage to fan eight Astros hitters in the outing.

Volquez has pitched only two innings since September 30, when he threw six innings for the win against the White Sox. Keuchel, who pitched on three days rest against the Yankees October 6, takes the hill on a normal four days rest Sunday.
