World Series Game 3 between the Houston Astros and Atlanta Braves could be impacted by rain on Friday night.
It will be the first game of the series at Truist Park, which does not have a roof.
Houston's Minute Maid Park has a retractable roof, which mitigates any weather concerns. That won't be the case on Friday.
