Weather Watch - Saturday, June 4
Here is a look at the weather forecast for Saturday's 15-game slate (all times ET):
Dome Games: New York Mets at Miami Marlins and Oakland Athletics at Houston Astros.
Arizona Diamondbacks at Chicago Cubs, 2:20 p.m.
There will be a 59 percent chance of rain with possibilities of a thunderstorm in the forecast. It's best to avoid players from this matchup.
Risk Factor: 8
Milwaukee Brewers at Philadelphia Phillies, 3:05 p.m.
There will be a 19 percent chance of rain with a possibility of a thunderstorm in the latter stages of this contest. It should hold up long enough to get the game in, so DFS owners shouldn't be all too worried, however, it is worth monitoring.
Risk Factor: 3
Los Angeles Angels at Pittsburgh Pirates, 4:05 p.m.
The likelihood of a thunderstorm and a 62 percent chance of precipitation makes it incredibly risky to roster players from either team. Steer clear of this matchup.
Risk Factor: 9
Toronto Blue Jays at Boston Red Sox, 4:05 p.m.
A modest nine percent chance of rain shouldn't be a major factor in this matchup. Temperatures will be in the mid-70s with a mix of sun and cloud.
Risk Factor: 1
Tampa Bay Rays at Minnesota Twins, 4:10 p.m.
A 40 percent chance of rain and the probability of a thunderstorm makes it dangerous to take chances on either teams' players. Considering the lack of star power on either side, it's best to stay away.
Risk Factor: 8
Washington Nationals at Cincinnati Reds, 4:10 p.m.
A 79 percent chance of rain with possibilities of thunderstorms will likely lead to delays and/or postponement. Avoid this game.
Risk Factor: 10
Chicago White Sox at Detroit Tigers, 4:10 p.m.
A 26 percent chance of rain with possibilities of thunderstorms later in the game provides some risk but not nearly as much compared to the rest of the afternoon games.
Risk Factor: 4
San Francisco Giants at St. Louis Cardinals, 7:15 p.m.
The weather isn't showing much signs of improvement for the later games. A chance of a thunderstorm and a 71 percent chance of rain will be the forecast in St. Louis. You know the drill.
Risk Factor: 9
Kansas City Royals at Cleveland Indians, 7:15 p.m.
There is just a 54 percent chance of rain, and the possibilities of a thunderstorm won't be a factor until the latter stages of this game. There is still plenty of risk involved.
Risk Factor: 6
New York Yankees at Baltimore Orioles, 7:15 p.m.
There is a likelihood of a thunderstorm at Camden Yards, but only a 22 percent chance of rain. Dome games are looking better and better by the minute.
Risk Factor: 5
Seattle Mariners at Texas Rangers, 9:05 p.m.
A 10 percent chance of rain provides little risk compared to the rest of the slate. There are no chances of thunderstorms in the forecast, but there will be a mix of sun and cloud with temperatures in the low 80s.
Risk Factor: 1
Colorado Rockies at San Diego Padres, 10:10 p.m.
There will be a zero chance of rain. No, that is not a typo. Zero percent. There is a chance of fog. Depending on the severity of the fog, it could make it tough for batters and fielders to pick up the ball.
Risk Factor: 0
Atlanta Braves at Los Angeles Dodgers, 10:10 p.m.
Sunny skies will hover over Chavez Ravine Saturday night, with just a four percent chance of rain. Maybe all games should be moved to the west coast?
Risk Factor: 0
