Brief Summary

Light to moderate rain will affect the I-95 corridor for much of the day. Scheduled 1st pitches for CHW at NYY, DET at BLT, MIA at WSH and CIN at PHL occur this evening and by that time rain should be just about or already left the region.

So if the timing is correct here, there should not be a problem with these games. But timing the rain this far out could be off and that could make a huge difference. LOW CHANCE OF PPD/IN-GAME DELAY, LOW TO MODERATE CHANCE OF A LATE START TO THE GAME. As we go through the afternoon, I will be better able to nail down the timing.

HOU at BOS will see rain from the same system mentioned above but because they are the furthest east, the wet weather will stick around the longest. Rain has JUST begun near scheduled 1st pitch and we have 2-4 hours of a light to moderate rain to wait out. As mentioned above, timing can and will change as we go through the day. MODERATE CHANCE OF PPD/ANY TYPE OF DELAY(S)

ATL at KC will see thunderstorms this evening. In real estate, it is all about location. In the strange mix of meteorology and DFS, it is all about timing. A rather nasty looking line of possibly severe weather has cleared the region well before the 8:15 EDT scheduled 1st pitch and we should not have any problems here. If these storms are just a bit slower leaving, then we have a potential problem. LOW CHANCE OF A PPD; LOW TO PERHAPS MODERATE CHANCE OF A LATE START

 

 

 

Good Hitting Environments:

-Whenever the Rockies are at home, the advantage of being over 5,000 feet above sea level its affect on air density (please see this article) is impossible to ignore. NYM at COL will see more than its fair share of batters in DFS lineups.
-If you are playing an all-day slate, PIT at CHC will see a breeze blowing out to right.
-ATL at KC will see a strong wind blowing out to right early in the game.

 

 

Poor Hitting Environment:

-MIN at CLE will be played with chilly temperatures that causes high air density.
