MLB Weather Report for Friday, September 2 (What's the Forecast for Every MLB Team and Matchup Today?)
By Ben Heisler
With the exception of Atlanta, we've got clear skies and plenty of sunshine around the Major Leagues this Friday when 15 games throw their first pitch.
At Truist Park, rain is scheduled in the forecast between the Washington Nationals and Atlanta Braves, but forecasts project it to clear out within an hour or so after their scheduled start time.
Meanwhile, bettors will want to keep an eye out on the latest forecasts out in San Francisco this evening, where winds are projected to reach upwards of 20 mph at Oracle Park between the Philadelphia Phillies and San Francisco Giants. Granted, the stadium design is built with the swirling bay area winds in mind, but this is much higher than normal and headed towards left-center field. Expect that game total to rise throughout the day.
Curious as to how each game's forecast might impact the latest betting odds? We've got them both in here for you to take in!
Here's a look at each of today's weather forecasts at every active stadium, as well as the latest odds for Friday's matchups.
