As of at least MAMP 3.0.6, the following works for both Free and Pro versions:

Open MAMP Pro or Free, depending on the one you use:

Pro: open /Applications/MAMP\ PRO/MAMP\ PRO.app/

Free: open /Applications/MAMP/MAMP.app/

Then, cd into MAMP/bin:

cd /Applications/MAMP/bin

To start Apache & MySQL:

./start.sh

To stop Apache & MySQL:

./stop.sh

Note that you might need to sudo the commands above.
