MLB DFS Weather: Thursday, April 21

Brief Summary (6:15 PM EDT UPDATE): 

Very minor concerns tonight in KC, BLT and TEX.

I will keep an eye on these games but would not be afraid to use any players from these three locations.

More worrisome to me is the the game in CIN.

Current radar (6:15 PM EDT)

Such a close call. It looks like to me that the northwest fringe of the rain in southwest Kentucky will BARELY miss Cincinnati.

  Let's see what the short term model I trust the most says will happen:

7 PM:

8 PM:

9 PM:

So this is a very close call in Cincinnati. Look at that rain shield come north and JUST brush them. Most of the heavy stuff stays east of the city....both the radar and this model tells me that.

 VERDICT: This game has risk. No doubt about it! But I see enough positive signs that indicate to me that they SHOULD be able to get this one in. And if they start, they should have a several hour dry window to play.
