MLB DFS Weather Monday May 2nd

Rain to Clip CHC at PIT 

 

Though much of the East and the Midwest continues to be damp, major problems are not expected around the MLB schedule tonight

 

Brief Summary (Updated 5:45 PM):

7 PM Simulated radar:

 So not looking overly wet this evening. 



SF at CIN and PHL at STL will see widely scattered showers tonight. Nothing that I am too concerned about right now but will keep an eye on the region. EXTREMELY LOW CHANCE OF A PPD, LOW CHANCE OF A DELAY 

CHC at PIT has become more worrisome. Light rain makes a very close path to the city, just to their south. Even if it were to affect them, I would only expect it to cause a delay around 8 PM and that is the worst case scenario. EXTREMELY LOW CHANCE OF A PPD, LOW TO PERHAPS MODERATE CHANCE OF DELAY


8:00 PM Simulated radar for PIT showing showers passing by just to their south

ATL at NYM will see a band if rain moving towards them as they play the game but it does not get into the Big Apple until after 11 PM. EXTREMELY LOW CHANCE OF A PPD OR DELAY.

 

 

Good Hitting Environment:

Moderate breeze blowing out to right for SEA at OAK.

 

Poor Hitting Environments:

SF at CIN, PHL at STL and ATL at NYM will all be played with cool temperatures making the air density rather high (and batted balls to not travel well).



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