MLB Weather Report for Saturday, May 28 (What's the Forecast for Every MLB Team and Matchup Today?)
By Ben Heisler
After a rainout Friday night between the Colorado Rockies and Washington Nationals, as well as a make-up matchup in Boston between the Red Sox and Baltimore Orioles from earlier this season, we've got 17 games on the MLB docket today!
Will we see better weather this Saturday, and how might it impact the matchups, as well as the odds and totals?
Weather conditions at each MLB stadium can often impact the matchup, as well as the projected total runs on the odds board. Cold weather games with less humidity often lead to lower totals and less runs scored. More hot and humid weather may help the baseball travel further; leading to higher scoring games.
Wind plays a prominent factor as well. For example, with the wind blowing out at Wrigley Field in Chicago, it becomes the most hitter-friendly ballpark in baseball. If blowing in, a traditional home run could easily get blown back into play; turning the Friendly Confines into a pitcher's paradise.
Here are the latest forecasts for Saturday, May 28, along with each team's odds and totals over at WynnBET Sportsbook.
