There are 14 games on the MLB schedule for Friday, but it could be a lot fewer once Mother Nature has had her say. There are eight games in which rain is in the forecast, meaning we could see a lot of delays and/or postponements, and Memorial Day weekend could be filled with doubleheaders.

The one afternoon tilt between the Reds and Cubs (2:20 p.m. ET first pitch) shows possible light rain throughout the day with precipitation percentages in the 40s and up to 60. Wrigley Field is also expected to see crazy wind today even if they get the game in.

In Pittsburgh, the first of the evening slate is also threatened by rain, with 78% precipitation at 6 p.m. ET, just 35 minutes before first pitch. Things lighten up as the evening goes on.

There's also heavy rain expected in Washington D.C. where the Nationals are set to meet the Brewers, and other games with significant rain chances include Yankees-Tigers, Blue Jays-Indians, Braves-Mets, Marlins-Red Sox and Orioles-White Sox.

Below, you can find the full weather forecast for every game played either outside or in a stadium with a retractable roof. Most games will also get a Weather Rating, which helps you determine how hitter-friendly we've determined the weather for that game to be, courtesy of our Fantasy Labs Player Models. The higher the score, the more hitter-friendly it is.
