MLB Weather Report for Monday, August 29 (What's the Forecast for Every MLB Team and Matchup Today?)
By Ben Heisler
With just eight games to wager on this Monday night in baseball, all but one of them look to be in good shape to get all nine or more innings in the books.
The lone exception is in Cincinnati, where rain and possible thunderstorms could shelve tonight's matchup between the St. Louis Cardinals and Cincinnati Reds.
One other game to keep an eye on is in Toronto between the Chicago Cubs and Toronto Blue Jays. The Rogers Centre in Toronto has a retractable roof, but if it's open, the wind is blowing out heavily to right-center field between 12-14 mph this evening. The total has already moved up to 9.5, indicating that we could see plenty of balls leave the park tonight.
