Overview
- Monday's scheduled Cubs-Mets game was rained out, creating the possibility that a second cancellation would be made up the next day as a doubleheader.
- The Mets announced the Tuesday first pitch was pushed from 7:10 p.m. ET to 7:20 p.m. ET as teams monitored weather and field conditions.
- Weather services show a roughly 70% chance of rain at the scheduled start with expected heavier showers early and precipitation odds falling to about 11% by 9 p.m. ET.
- MLB postponement rules give the on-site crew chief and umpiring crew final authority to delay or cancel the game based on real-time field conditions.
- If postponed, the game would most likely be folded into Wednesday's slate with original tickets typically honored and measurable effects on pitching plans, travel and the Cubs' and Mets' schedules.
