MLB DFS Weather Friday May 13

Brief Summary (6:50 PM EDT Update) BOSTON WILL TRY TO PLAY

Current radar:

HOU at BOS is the game to watch.Now the simulated radar and the real radar are matching up so let's see what is supposed to happen:

So besides the BOS game, the NYY, BLT, PHL and DC games look to be OK.  VERY LOW CHANCE OF PPD/OF A LATE START TO THE GAME.



CHW at NYY looks to be the riskiest as the rain hold on their the longest (it is already out of DC, BLT and PHL). Rain should leave NYY by around 6:30 to 6:45.



HOU at BOS will be affected by the same system mentioned but because they are the furthest east, the impacts will stick around the longest.

7 PM simulated radar:

8 PM simulated radar:

Looks like a light to, at times, moderate rain will fall throughout the game. Radar (see top picture above) has become spottier and lighter so I think they are making the correct decision here.  LOW CHANCE OF PPD/ MODERATE CHANCE OF ANY TYPE OF DELAY(S)

 

 

Good Hitting Environments:

-Whenever the Rockies are at home, the advantage of being over 5,000 feet above sea level its affect on air density (please see this article) is impossible to ignore. NYM at COL will see more than its fair share of batters in DFS lineups.


-ATL at KC will see a strong wind blowing out to right early in the game.

 

 

 

Poor Hitting Environment:

-MIN at CLE will be played with chilly temperatures that causes high air density.
