MLB DFS Weather Thursday June 2

Brief Summary (Updated 6:30 PM):

PPD Threat: None

Delay Threat: BLT (low to mod after 8:30 PM), PHL (very low),



The only night games with any type of PPD/delay threat will be BOS at BLT and MIL at PHL. A line of semi-organized tstorms will approach this pair of games after the 1st pitch in each location. By 7 and 8 PM, the radars near them should look like this:




The current radar looks like this:


***The rain has really slowed to a crawl. I now expect it to arrive closer to or even after 9 PM***

VERY LOW CHANCE OF A PPD, LOW TO MAYBE MODERATE IN-GAME DELAY THREAT BLT LATE IN THE GAME; LOW DELAY THREAT IN PHL AS THE MODELING SHOWS THE TSTORMS WEAKENING AND TAKING LONGER TO REACH THEM





Good Hitting Environments:

-NYY at DET will see relatively mild temps and a light breeze blowing out to left.  
-TB at MIN will see a light breeze blowing out, 1st to center and then to left.  
-CIN at COL will have both extreme low air density and the wind blowing out.  
-Though still not a "great" hitting environment, Petco Park will be 5-10 degrees warmer than normal.  

Poor Hitting Environments:

-None stand out as particularly bad, except for maybe PIT at MIA as the ball does not carry well with the roof closed.
