MLB DFS Weather Friday May 20

Brief Summary (6:45 PM EDT Update):Reds to Start LATE!

Current radar:



Notice all the rain right near CIN.

Simulated radar at 7 PM tonight:


SEA at CIN is the most at risk but it looks like they are going to try to play!!! If/when they start late, they should be able to play 9.

Current radar near CIN:


The back edge is in sight and heading their way!

We can see for COL at PIT the game will start dry but rain is approaching. The rain should hold off until after 10 PM so most of the game (if not all of it) should be dry. If anything, I feel that the computer models may be rushing the rain in there too quickly so I am not overly concerned about this game right now. VERY LOW CHANCE OF A PPD, LOW CHANCE OF A DELAY LATE IN THE GAME (AFTER 10 PM)

Simulated radar for 10 PM shown above.


As mentioned above SEA at CIN, has been unofficially PPD

7 PM:
8 PM:
9 PM:



AZ at STL has already seen rain leave the region and it is not expected to be any worse than a stray shower or sprinkle. VERY LOW CHANCE OF A PPD OR ANY TYPE OF DELAYS

 

Good Hitting Environments:

 - A strange weather pattern continues for the 4 games in CA tonight (games in OAK, SD, LAA and SF) in that the moisture in the air will be higher than normal. Batted balls may be able to travel slightly better than normal. The wind is screaming out to right in OAK, LAA and SF.  

-CLE at BOS will see one of the 1st evenings of the season with a wind blowing out towards the Green Monster.

 

Poor Hitting Environments:

 

-Normally a pitchers park anyways, PNC park in PIT will see a bit of a breeze blowing in from left.

-Relatively cool with a light breeze blowing in for KC at CHW.
