Dome Games: Boston at Toronto, New York Yankees at Tampa Bay, Cincinnati at Milwaukee, Minnesota at Seattle and San Diego at Arizona.
Baltimore Orioles at Cleveland Indians, 1:10 p.m.
Better wear your rubber boots in Cleveland today; there is a 33 percent chance of rain with chances of thunderstorms throughout the afternoon. This game could see major delays.
Risk Factor: 7
St. Louis Cardinals at Washington Nationals, 1:35 p.m.
The on-field product could be quite sloppy in the nation's capital; hot and humid air temperature will be mixed with a 70 percent chance of rain throughout the game, with an all-out thunderstorm expected towards 5:00 p.m. local time.
Risk Factor: 9
Chicago White Sox at Kansas City Royals, 2:15 p.m.
Clear skies around first pitch will give way to clouds and then chances of thunderstorms towards the end of the game. A 20 percent chance of rain won't be a big factor; hope that the two teams are able to work quickly to avoid late-game delays.
Risk Factor: 6
Philadelphia Phillies at Chicago Cubs, 2:20 p.m.
A 10 percent chance of rain will give the outfield wall at Wrigley a light watering but won't cause delays. Eleven MPH winds blowing from home plate towards right-center field will give a slight boost to pop flies.

Pittsburgh Pirates at Texas Rangers, 3:05 p.m.
Sixty percent chance of rain; chances of thunderstorms all afternoon; mid-80s heat; winds blowing back towards home plate. Sounds like a great day for some baseball! significant delays.

Houston Astros at Los Angeles Angels, 3:35 p.m.
Temperatures in the 70s and partly cloudy skies are nevertheless some of the better weather conditions on the day. The winds are expected to pick up throughout the afternoon to around 9 MPH, blowing straight to center field.
Risk Factor: 1
Detroit Tigers at Oakland Athletics, 4:05 p.m.
Clear, sunny skies and a zero chance of precipitation makes for some great baseball. The only concern is stiff 11 mph winds blowing out from home plate towards the right foul pole; left-handed pull-hitters might find their long flies curling foul.
Risk Factor: 2
San Francisco Giants at Colorado Rockies, 4:10 p.m.
A 25 percent chance of rain and the potential of thunderstorms throughout the afternoon could lead to a delay at some point.
Risk Factor: 5
Miami Marlins at Atlanta Braves, 5:05 p.m.
Spectators at Turner Field will get some reprieve from the high 80s heat from the light breeze coming in from the outfield and a 20 percent chance of rain. And not to be undone by the rest of the league, thunderstorms are a possibility.
Risk Factor: 6
Los Angeles Dodgers at New York Mets, 8:00 p.m.
The scene in Flushing Meadows will be set by chances of thunderstorms and wind. With so many games impacted by the possibility of awful weather, at least there are five domed games on Sunday.
