Though, could mother nature prevent Gerrit Cole, Rich Hill from starting from Aaron Judge searching for home run #61 tying Roger Maris?
I would say that is a possibility as as there is a 51% chance of showers at first pitch, 51 % chance of showers an hour after the game is supposed to begin 47 % chance of showers and cloudy at 9:00pm 47 % chance of showers and cloudy by the time the game is supposed to be over!

After Boston’s 5-4 loss to New York Thursday Boston manager Boston closer Matt Barnes had this to say about Aaron Judge! I frankly don’t care about history. We’ve got a ballgame to win. If I give up a homer, game’s over, right? I’m sure he does it at some point this season, and I’ll congratulate him and everything.
“If I go out there and I get caught up in the history of what he can potentially be doing and I start tip-toeing around the at-bat, I’m probably going to hang something. Or I’m probably going to miss middle. My stuff is going to get worse, and then I’m probably going to give up a home run. I’m going to come after him." After Boston’s 4-3 loss to New York Boston manager Alex Cora had this to say about Aaron Judge who is attempting who is going at some point tie Roger Maris with 61 home runs about the fans, spectators at Yankee Stadium!“
It gets very quiet on every pitch,”They boo every ball. They’re having fun with it, [big crowd], Yankee Stadium, that’s the way it should be.”
That’s what the good ones doYou have to move the ball around. The tough part is, [Judge] is so disciplined that he will take his walks. Obviously, it’s not easy, but we’re going to attack the way we’re going to attack, and if he takes his walks, he takes them. Like [John] Schreiber gave him a 2-0 fastball, and he missed it. After that, you play with the situation, and if he chases, he chases. I think, overall, we did a good job.”
