Brief Summary:

A few sprinkles or light rain will fall this evening in the game between CIN and CLE (the weird start time of 6:10 means that this game is not on many DFS slates anyways) and in ATL at PIT. Here is a simulated radar around 1st pitch:

And for 8 PM:

LOW CHANCE OF PPD/LOW TO PERHAPS MODERATE CHANCE OF ANY TYPE OF DELAY

A light rain should be slowly moving away from SEA at BLT and MIN at PHL this evening. Here are simulated radars for 7 and 8 PM respectively:

 As indicated by the green and grey colors, the rain is expected to be light. The rain is of the steady shield variety (not showery in nature) but is expected to push away right around the time of scheduled 1st pitch. Timing is very important and trying to nail the exact stoppage time of the rain is difficult, not impossible, to do this far out. LOW CHANCE OF A PPD (since the rain is so light anyways); LOW TO PERHAPS MODERATE RISK OF ANY TYPE OF DELAY(S)

Just a few sprinkles scattered around WSH at NYM. Simulated radar for 7 PM:

EXTREMELY LOW CHANCE OF A PPD/LOW CHANCE OF ANY TYPE OF DELAY(S)

A light, showery rain will fall at times today in the Gateway to the West. By the time scheduled 1st pitch rolls around for COL at STL, the rain should be gone with only a few leftover showers to possibly affect them. Here is the 8 PM simulated radar:

EXTREMELY LOW CHANCE OF A PPD; LOW CHANCE OF ANY TYPE OF DELAY(S)

 

Good Hitting Environments:

-NYY at AZ will see warm temperatures that help batted balls travel well.

-TEX at OAK will see warmer than normal temperatures and a breeze blowing out to right.

Poor Hitting Environments:

-The 3 games played in PHL, PIT and BLT will experience miserably cool and, at times, damp conditions.

-CIN at CLE will be played with cool temperatures and a light breeze blowing in from center.

-MIN at DET, HOU at CHW and WSH at NYM will see very cool temperatures.
