We’ve got a busy day of baseball today, with 14 games scheduled. Of these, five will be of the afternoon variety, and the remaining nine will make up the main slate. While our optimal lineups will be geared for the main slate, we have included a few afternoon plays in the playbook to get you started on those early contests.

Weather
There is some rain expected in Chicago and Denver tonight and as of now it appears to be pretty significant risk to the CWS/MIN game. The COL/CHC has some risk as well, though with it being a day game, the window to play might be a little bigger. There is also a slight change of rain in Arlington, but for now it doesn’t look like a big threat.

 

Keep an eye on the Weather Center for updates throughout the day.
