MLB DFS Weather Wednesday May 18

Brief Summary (6:30 PM EDT Update):

WSH at NYM is seeing some showers push through Queens right now. Let's look at the current radar:

The simulated radar for scheduled 1st pitch looks like this:

Not very impressive and the rain is forecast to be near the 3 cities but have little or no impact on PIT, NYM and BLT I would think VERY LOW CHANCE OF PPD/ LOW CHANCE OF ANY TYPE OF DELAY(S).

 

 

Good Hitting Environment:

-NYY at AZ will see warm temperatures causing low air density if the roof is open. 

 

 

Poor Hitting Environments:

-Games in PIT, CIN, CHW, NYM, and BLT will be played with cool temperatures.
