Weather Watch: Thursday, May 12
Here's a look at the weather ahead of Thursday's eight-game slate (all start times ET):
Dome Games: San Diego Padres at Milwaukee Brewers, San Francisco Giants at Arizona Diamondbacks
Detroit Tigers at Baltimore Orioles, 7:05 p.m.
A low chance of rain prior to game time switches to the possibility of a thunderstorm shortly after first pitch. There's no real threat of rain until later in the evening, but thunder and lightning could cause a delay. The game should still be played.
Risk Factor: 5
Kansas City Royals at New York Yankees, 7:05 p.m.
Clear skies before the start of the game will include some clouds as the game goes on, but there is no significant chance of rain. A modest breeze will blow toward the left field wall.
Risk Factor: 1
Houston Astros at Boston Red Sox, 7:10 p.m.
The skies over Fenway Park will be clear all night long, with no chance of rain affecting this one. The wind will be entirely insignificant.
Risk Factor: 0
Philadelphia Phillies at Atlanta Braves, 7:10 p.m.
A significant chance of a thunderstorm includes rain and stretches over the entirety of Thursday's game in Atlanta. As tough as it may be, DFS owners should fade all players involved.
Risk Factor: 8
St. Louis Cardinals at Los Angeles Angels, 10:05 p.m.
A warm clear night in Los Angeles, with no precipitation in the forecast. Light winds will blow out toward center field, but they're unlikely to provide much of a boost for hitters.
Risk Factor: 0
New York Mets at Los Angeles Dodgers, 10:10 p.m.
Much of the same over Dodger Stadium. Clear skies, warm temperatures and a lack of rain. Winds of one to three miles per hour won't have an affect.
Risk Factor: 0
