How to watch and listen to today’s MLB Los Angeles Dodgers vs Houston Astros game: live stream, TV channel, radio station and start time

THE Los Angeles Dodgers are on the road for the first time since the All-Star break and are headed to Houston Astros to face the Astros in an exciting interleague game that begins Friday night.

The Dodgers started strong by beating the previously in-form Boston Red Sox last weekend, then followed that up with back-to-back wins over their arch-rivals, the San Francisco Giants.

The Astros, meanwhile, return home Friday night after narrowly avoiding a sweep at the hands of the lowly Oakland A’s in Oakland to start the week. They’re back once again and now appear to be a legitimate contender to return to the American League playoffs.
