There's 11 games on Thursday's MLB calendar, and while most appear to have clear skies and no potential delays, there are a few to keep an eye on.

In New York, we may see the recent hot offenses of the Toronto Blue Jays and New York Yankees continue tonight; as the wind is blowing out at Yankee Stadium to right-center field at 4-6 mph.

Meanwhile, in Atlanta, the game of the night between the New York Mets and Atlanta Braves has rain in the forecast up until close to first pitch, but then the skies should clear up despite the humidity levels rising.
