Weather
There is some rain expected in Chicago and Denver tonight and as of now it appears to be pretty significant risk to the CWS/MIN game. The COL/CHC has some risk as well, though with it being a day game, the window to play might be a little bigger. There is also a slight change of rain in Arlington, but for now it doesn’t look like a big threat.
Keep an eye on the Weather Center for updates throughout the day.
