Brief Summary

PPD threat: MIN / Delay threats: WAS, TEX

• NYM at WAS will feature some wet weather at times. A band of heavy rain is forecast to move through DURING the game. Tough to nail down the exact timing this far out, but if it were to set up this way, an in-game delay is a possibility. Not too concerned about a PPD at this time.

• LAA at TEX and KC at MIN may be impacted by the strip of thunderstorms that will rumble across the middle of the country this afternoon and evening. Thunderstorms are to their west and will approach as the game goes on. Again, looks like a chance of an in-game delay. Depending on the speed and where these thunderstorms form, there is some PPD risk but I would put that as low right now.

• To the north, KC at MIN may be dealing with similar problems. Immediately, this looks like a PPD threat with that steady shield of rain sitting very close to them and not moving much. However, all it takes is that band to set up 50 miles to the west and they may be able to squeeze the game in. Will continue to watch this area very closely.

Good Hitting Environments

• Many sites will not have this game, but COL at PIT will experience warm temps and a breeze blowing out to right.

• Mild temperatures for another unusual start time for CLE at CWS.

• Summer-like warmth and humidity for LAA at TEX.

Poor Hitting Environments

• None stand out as particularly bad.
