MLB DFS Weather Thursday April 28th

                                   

                                        Current radar in the mid-Atlantic region

Brief Summary (5:45 PM Update):

CHW at BLT will see widely scattered showers affect the region this evening but none seem especially heavy nor steady (from the radar pictured above just push the showers due east that are over northern Virginia and western Maryland). VERY LOW CHANCE OF PPD WITH A LOW RISK OF DELAY(S)

Good Hitting Environments:

-STL at AZ will feature low air density (thus batted balls should carry well) if the roof is open. 

 

Poor Hitting Environments:

 -CHW at BLT will experience chilly and damp conditions with light winds blowing in.
-Cold with a slight breeze blowing in at Fenway for ATL at BOS

 

On the scales used below, a 10 greatly favors the batter while a 1 favors the pitcher. 


CHW at BLT 7:05: SEE BRIEF SUMMARY ABOVE. Wind NE 6-12 mph which blows in from center. The wind is a 4. Temps near 50. Air density is a 3.

ATL at BOS 7:10: Wind ESE 6-12 mph which blows in from right. The wind is a 4. Temps near 50 falling into the mid 40s. Air density is a 3 becoming a 2. Should be noted that a brush fire has broken out near Fenway Park. Radar image from 2:45 PM showing the fire: 

I will assume the fire is controlled and it is not a big deal tonight.

STL at AZ: Not sure what they will do with the retractable roof as we have a very low chance (~10%) of a thunderstorm that would close the roof if it threatens the area. Wind WSW 8-16 mph lessening to 5-10 mph which blows from right to left. The wind is a 5. Temps in the mid 70s falling into the mid/upper 60s. Air density is a 7.

MIA at LAD 10:10: Wind WSW 10-20 mph lessening to 6-12 mph which blows out to right. The wind is a 7 or an 8 becoming a 6. Temps in the mid to upper 60s falling into the low 60s. Air density is a 6.
