Game 3 of the World Series is scheduled to be played this evening, but it appears that weather may play a role in the contest.
With the series tied at 1-1, the game is pivotal in determining who will take home the season's biggest prize.
Two games have been suspended by a full day this postseason, and both of them came in the series between the Guardians and the Yankees in the ALDS.
For the upcoming Game 3 between Houston and Philadelphia, the Astros are currently a market favorite around -140, while the Phillies are hovering around +115.
With all of this in mind, here is the updated forecast for the evening's contest.

Per the Sports Insights weather report, there is a 30% chance of rain at Citizens Bank Park at 8 p.m. as the game is slated to begin, and it will raise up to 60% throughout the majority of the evening.
MLB makes it a priority to try and ensure that games are finished in the same evening if they are started, and delays are not looked upon favorably.
