Looks like we’ll get a little taste of some games in New York tonight, but anyone with money down in the Orioles-Yankees or Mets-Rockies games should be ready for some no action thanks to Mother Nature.
Rain is in the forecast this evening in New York city and the same games that were rained out last night should suffer a similar fate this evening. Unlike yesterday, however, both games will likely start before the wet stuff comes down.
The bad weather has had a clear impact on the numbers on both games. The Yankees MLB odds dropped a full run from an open of 10.5 on the total yesterday (to 9.5 today) and the Mets total dipped from an open of 8.0 early yesterday to just 7.5 today.
The National, Red Sox, and Pirates games should also be impacted by the weather. In Washington, the Phillies and Nats should make it through nine innings. But cold weather and some partial showers definitely could impact the game because it could shorten Roy Halladay’s outing.
Also, bad weather isn’t the only weather that could play a big role in today’s action. In Arizona it is going to be 84 degrees and sunny and that could make a big impact. Why? Because for the third day in a row Arizona will likely be playing with the roof open at Bank One Ballpark. And if you don’t follow the D-Backs very closely I can tell you that having the roof open is a little bit like playing softball on the moon. That could lead to another 13-8 video game score like we saw last night.
