MLB Weather Report for Thursday, July 28 (What's the Forecast for Every MLB Team and Matchup Today?)
By Ben Heisler
All 12 games on Thursday's MLB slate should be clear to get completed this evening, although there are a few stadiums on the east coast where we may see slight delays.
In New York, there's a 30% chance of precipitation through the 7 p.m. ET hour around Yankee Stadium where the Yankees host the Kansas City Royals. Meanwhile, a few hours away in Boston, there's a 30-40% chance of rain around Fenway Park until around 9 p.m. ET before the skies clear up.
Out west in Colorado, thunderstorms throughout the night could bang the Rockies' and L.A. Dodgers matchup tonight.
How should bettors take in this information, and what opportunities can they have tonight to take advantage of the forecasts before placing a wager?
