MLB DFS Weather Sunday May 8

                                                   If you want no risk, avoid Cincinnati 

  

Brief Summary (12:55 PM EDT)

  

MIL at CIN is currently seeing rain about to move into the Queen City as can be seen above. We will see this band of rain lift north and east of the Queen City this afternoon. 

  

1 PM simulated radar show above, 2 PM shown below

And finally 3 PM:

MODERATE TO HIGH CHANCE OF A DELAYED START/IN-GAME DELAY WITH A LOW TO MODERATE CHANCE OF A PPD.  

********* A PPD NOW CAN NOT BE RULED OUT!!!!!**************


PIT at STL will be east of an area that will be affected by severe thunderstorms today and thus any potential problems should wait until AFTER the game. I will keep an eye out in case something breaks out early. EXTREMELY LOW CHANCE OF A PPD, LOW CHANCE OF A DELAY LATE

A concern has been raised about CHICAGO. Rain is to their west now but is sliding southeast. By 2 PM, the rain should not be a problem in the Windy City as can be seen below.

2 PM:

A very small chance of a few showers at Pac Bell Park for COL at SF. Will watch the region but I would be surprised if there were any issues.

Rain around New York City will be long gone by this evening. No problems for BOS at NYY.

 

 

Good Hitting Environments:

 

-OAK at BLT will see a nice breeze blowing out to right.

-AZ at ATL will experience the 1st real warm day there and also a light breeze blowing out to right.

-Wrigley will have a light breeze blowing out to center for WSH at CHC.

-Humidity levels are unusually high in the 3 California games that may lead to batted balls being able to travel a bit farther than normal.

Poor Hitting Environment:

-BOS at NYY will be played with cool temperatures causing high air density.
