@MikeBerardino: Chance of rain starts at 30 pct at 2 p.m., increases to 40 pct by 3 and 50 pct by 4. Up to 60 pct by 6 and stays there thru 8. https://twitter.com/SSellouT/status/848713661313056769

Open in Minnesota. Outside ballpark. Brilliant MLB!
The first 2 weeks need to be played exclusively in the Southern half of the USA |

Absolutely. This makes zero sense. Now they'll likely have to play double headers next time they're up there, assuming the game is freezing rained out.

I agree they probably shouldn't be playing in Minnesota the first week of the year, but this is still probably a bit overblown. It's supposed to be like 55 degrees there today. That's pretty good. The problem is that it's spring and that means rain showers, no matter where you are. You really can't avoid that, even if you go south, places like Atlanta are supposed to have severe weather today. Same with Texas yesterday. Your only bet to avoid spring weather is play all the games in California, or start the season in June.

I get that spring is spring and there's all kinds of factors that go into creating opening day matchups, but Angels @ Oakland, Giants @ Diamondbacks, Padres @ Dodgers...KC @ Twins, Detroit @ White Sox, etc. Seems like in a world of advanced stats, they could formula in some mitigating weather data.

That said, even KC isn't immune. Was it 2 or 3 years ago we had a snow out in May? It's just part of it. I'm not sure there's even enough teams to make another plan work. The two Florida teams, Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, Arizona and the five California teams. Plus there are a few indoor stadiums. Honestly the Twins probably should've built one. Only exception is the Reds, they always get a home opener out of tradition. That won't change. |

Twins are going with Sano at 3B, Max Keppler in the OF. This should be fun.

538 picks KC 4th in Central, 74-88. One game ahead of the Sux, who aren't even trying this year. Also only 4 teams(Sux, Reds, Phillies and Padres) given lower playoff odds than our 14%.
We are even behind Atlanta, Minny, As and Rockies. |

The Royals will outperform whatever 538 says. What is 538?
