MLB WEATHER REPORT — SEPTEMBER 17, 2026

The primary weather concerns are thunderstorms in Pittsburgh and Colorado. Cincinnati will feature the hottest conditions on the slate.

MILWAUKEE BREWERS @ PITTSBURGH PIRATES

Temperatures near 80 degrees with high humidity. Thunderstorm probability ranges from approximately 50% to 75% during the game. Light wind around 6–7 mph blowing OUT toward left-center.

BETTING IMPACT: This is the biggest delay concern of the early games. Any stoppage could shorten the starting pitchers’ outings and force both teams into their bullpens earlier than expected.

LOS ANGELES DODGERS @ CINCINNATI REDS

Hot and mostly sunny with temperatures climbing from the upper 80s into the low 90s. Light wind blowing OUT at 5–7 mph. Minimal rain risk.

BETTING IMPACT: The heat and hitter-friendly ballpark could provide a modest boost to offense, but the wind is not strong enough to create a major edge by itself.

ATHLETICS @ TAMPA BAY RAYS

(INDOORS)

SAN DIEGO PADRES @ COLORADO ROCKIES

Temperatures around 79–81 degrees with a 30% chance of thunderstorms early, increasing to approximately 50% later in the game. Wind around 5–7 mph, beginning as a CROSSWIND before shifting toward a slight OUT direction.

BETTING IMPACT: Pop-up thunderstorms could interrupt the game and create bullpen uncertainty. The wind is not strong enough to add a significant offensive boost beyond the normal Coors Field environment.

KANSAS CITY ROYALS @ HOUSTON ASTROS

(INDOORS)

PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES @ NEW YORK METS

Temperatures in the mid-to-upper 70s with high humidity. South wind around 8–9 mph blowing OUT toward center field. A slight shower chance develops during the game, but a delay is not currently expected.

The breeze provides a modest carry boost, but there is no major weather edge.

DETROIT TIGERS @ CHICAGO WHITE SOX

Temperatures around 68–70 degrees with very high humidity. NNE wind around 10 mph, primarily a CROSSWIND with a slight IN component. Minimal rain risk.

Weather should not be a major factor.

BOSTON RED SOX @ TEXAS RANGERS

(INDOORS)

MINNESOTA TWINS @ LOS ANGELES ANGELS

Clear with temperatures falling from the mid-70s into the upper 60s. SW wind around 10 mph blowing OUT early, weakening to approximately 5 mph and becoming more of a CROSSWIND as the game continues. No rain concern.

No meaningful weather edge.

BOTTOM LINE

Pittsburgh and Colorado are the games to monitor for thunderstorms and possible delays. Cincinnati’s heat offers the best offensive environment outside Coors Field.
