Hump Day Weather & Umps (Aug 26)
MLB Betting: Hump Day Weather & Umps
Afternoon Contests
All times listed are Eastern, weather forecasts current as of 8:00 a.m. (ET).
Indians at Royals (-111, 9½) 2:10 p.m.
Weather: Might have a delay in this game, and with Cleveland and KC each not going anywhere this year, it's a game the umps could give up on for you totals bettors. Reason for that is the Royals take off to travel two tome zones to Seattle for a weekend series beginning Thursday. The betting odds for rain are at 60% as the day goes on, winds East 5-8 MPH (in from RF).
HP Umpire: Unless there's a change in the rotation, reserve ump Damien Beal will call this one. I can't think of when I've heard his name before. It's his third game behind the plate this year, 1-1 on the home team and 1-1 on the totals. You tell me.
Tigers at Angels (-114, 9½) 3:35 p.m.
Weather: At some point in this game it is going to climb into the lower-90s with NW winds in the 6-9 range (from LF corner to RF corner).
HP Umpire: Mark Carlson is south of the dish with interesting numbers if you hang your hat on that sort of thing. He's 16-10 ML for the home team and 10-16 P/U on the totals. (5-12 8½-10).
