Weather Watch - Monday, April 4
Here is the MLB weather picture for Monday, April 4 (all times ET):
Dome Games: San Francisco Giants @ Milwaukee Brewers; Toronto Blue Jays @ Tampa Bay Rays; Colorado Rockies @ Arizona Diamondbacks
Houston Astros at New York Yankess, 1:05 p.m.
This one has already been called off due to rain. This moves Opening Day in the Bronx to Tuesday where the Yankees will host a doubleheader.
Risk Factor: 10
Minnesota Twins at Baltimore Orioles, 3:05 p.m.
With thunderstorms ongoing the start of the game has been delayed. With an early enough start, it could still be played.
Risk Factor: 8
Seattle Mariners at Texas Rangers, 4:05 p.m.
At 81 degrees, it's one of the warmest projected starting temperatures on the day's slate and the forecast is clear. Mild, 6 MPH winds shouldn't be a problem.
Risk Factor: 1
Washington Nationals at Atlanta Braves, 4:10 p.m.
Clear skies and a warm 73-degree forecast make for a solid day of baseball. 10 MPH outbound winds could give the ball a little more carry.
Risk Factor: 2
Boston Red Sox at Cleveland Indians, 4:10 p.m.
It is most definitely not hot in Cleveland. With a projected starting temperature around 32 degrees and threat of snow, the game was postponed to Tuesday.
Risk Factor: 10
Philadelphia Phillies at Cincinnati Reds, 4:10 p.m.
With 15 MPH wind heading out of the stadium, and a slightly warmer 52 degrees at game time, there could be a little more life on the ball. Pitching might be dodgy.
Risk Factor: 5
Los Angeles Dodgers at San Diego Padres, 7:05 p.m.
With fog rolling in and a cool 66-degree gametime temperature, conditions are certainly not ideal. Fielders may find themselves struggling with fly balls.
Risk Factor: 5
Chicago Cubs at Los Angeles Angels, 10:05 p.m.
All of the California games are cooler than maybe expected with the starting temperature forecast as 65 degrees. Unlike San Diego, Anaheim features clear skies and a light, 6 MPH outward wind.
Risk Factor: 3
Chicago White Sox at Oakland Athletics, 10:05 p.m.
Oakland is the coldest California setting with a forecast temperature of 58 degrees. The clear skies should keep things relatively calm despite the 10 MPH crosswind.
Risk Factor: 4
