MLB DFS Weather Saturday April 23rd

Everyone will be looking to fit Dodgers/Rockies into their lineups but will the weather cooperate?

 

Brief Summary (Updated 7:05 PM): Only game with delay/ppd concern is in Denver

 Current radar: 

Radar behaving as expect as rain is struggling to leave the mountains!

 Simulated radar:
  8PM:

9 PM:

10 PM:

So, even though the current radar is a bit scary, the model I trust the most continues to show the rain drying up as it comes off the mountains. So, while I am slightly less optimistic than earlier today, I still feel we have a LOW PPD THREAT WHILE THERE IS A LOW TO MODERATE DELAY THREAT.

I NOT BE AFRAID OF USING ANY HITTERS FROM THE ROCKIES OR THE DODGERS!

GOOD HITTING ENVIRONMENTS:

-LAD at COL will feature a gusty (30+ mph) wind blowing out to right-center early in the game. Later in the game the wind will shift to blowing from left to right.

-If the roof is open, warm temperatures, low air density and a wind blowing out at times should help players from PIT at AZ. 

Poor Hitting Environments:

-None standout as particularly bad.



PHL at MIL 7:10:  Cool temperatures will likely mean the roof is closed.

NYM at ATL 7:10: Wind NW 8-16 mph which blows from left to right. The wind is a 5. Temps in the low to mid 70s falling into the mid 60s. Air density is a 7 becoming a 6.

CHC at CIN 7:10: Wind light and variable which is a 5. Temps near 60 falling into the low 50s. Air density is a 5 becoming a 4.

BLT at KC 7:15: SSE winds 10-20 mph which blows out to left. The wind is an 8. Temps falling from the low 70s into the mid 60s. Air density is a 7.

LAD at COL 8:10: SEE BRIEF SUMMARY ABOVE. SSW winds gusting past 30 mph will blow out to right-center early in the game. As the game goes on, the winds will shift to WNW which blows from left to right. So the wind will change from a 10 to a 5 during the game. Temps in the mid 50s will drop into the mid 50s. Air density is a 10. 

PIT at AZ 8:10: Retractable roof. Wind W 10-20 mph lessening to 7-14 mph which blows from right to left or out to left at times. The wind is a 6. Temps falling from the mid 80s to near 80. Air density is a 8.

STL at SD 8:40: WNW wind 10-20 mph lessening to 8-16 which blows from left to right. The wind is a 5. Temps falling from near 70 to the low to mid 60s. Air density is a 6.

SEA at LAA 9:05: WSW Wind 10-20 mph lessening to 8-16 mph which blows out to right. The wind is an 8 becoming a 7. Temps falling from the upper 60s into the lower 60s. Air density is a 6.

MIA at SF 9:05: W 10-20 mph which blows out to center. The wind is an 8. Temps falling from the low to mid 60s into the upper 50s. Air density is a 6 becoming a 5.
