The MLB season openers in New York and Philadelphia have been postponed due to rainy forecasts on the East Coast. The Milwaukee Brewers were set to face off against the New York Mets, but the game has been rescheduled for Friday at 1:40 p.m. ET. Similarly, the Philadelphia Phillies were supposed to take on the Atlanta Braves, but their game will now be played on Friday at 3:05 p.m.
In light of the delays, the Phillies have announced that they will be offering scarves to attendees as a consolation for the delayed opener. The decision to postpone the games was made in consultation with MLB officials and weather services, taking into account the safety of players and fans.
Meanwhile, multiple states are currently under flood watch due to heavy rain and snow in the Upper Midwest. However, barring any further weather delays, 24 teams are still set to debut in 13 other MLB openers on Thursday.
It is worth noting that the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres already kicked off the 2024 season in the Seoul Series last week. As fans eagerly await the start of the new season, they can look forward to a packed schedule of games once the weather clears up on the East Coast. Stay tuned for more updates on the MLB season opener on Road Rug Cars.
