MLB DFS Weather Monday April 25th

Hopefully, this scene will not be repeated tonight in Detroit

Brief Summary (7:45 PM EDT Update):

Timimg still looks OK in Detroit! They should get this one in!

OAK at DET will be generally dry this evening. A line of severe thunderstorms will approach the area during the game. Timing is critical here as to when the severe weather is forecast to move through.

The Severe Prediction Center's (SPC) forecast for this evening:

Let's see what the simulated radars look like:

 7PM: 

8 PM:

9PM:

10 PM:

I see some of my fears being realized, things ARE speeding up a little bit. 

 Let's go with LOW CHANCE OF A PPD, MODERATE CHANCE OF DELAY(S) starting as early as 9 pm but probably waiting to almost 10 PM. It looks like they should have about 2-3 dry hours to play!!! Timing is critical!


BOS at ATL, NYY at TEX and PIT at COL will see a very small chance of a thunderstorm affecting the stadiums. So small that I debated even mentioning it. VERY LOW CHANCE OF A PPD/DELAY(S). I will break down the simulated radars for all 3 as we get closer to 1st pitch.

CLE at MIN will see some lingering showers this evening.  VERY LOW CHANCE OF A PPD, LOW CHANCE OF A DELAY(S).

Good Hitting Environments:

-PIT at COL will have the obvious advantage of the low air density but a strong wind blowing out to left-center will help batters as well.
-A stronger than normal wind will blow out to rightfield for KC at LAD.
-Strong West winds will blow out in the 3 California locations in SF, LAD and LAA. 

Poor Hitting Environments:

-Chilly temperatures and a bit of a wind blowing in  makes it tough to hit for OAK at DET. 
-Still relatively chilly in the Northeast for CIN at NYM.  

CHW at TOR 7:07: The roof will be closed.

STL at AZ 9:40: Pleasant temperatures but rather windy out so I'm not sure how they handle the retractable roof here. If it is open, the wind will be out of the WSW at 20-30 mph with gusts to 35 mph early before lessening to 10-20 mph late which blows from right to left. The wind is a 5.
