Twelve of tonight’s 13 MLB games are included in DraftStreet leagues. The Red Sox host Oakland at 6:35 Eastern, and players from those clubs are not available in leagues that close at 7:05. There are plenty of possibilities elsewhere, as a new week begins with new series.

We promise not to be so weather-obsessed in May, but April has been particularly brutal in places like Denver and Minneapolis, where tonight’s forecasts are better suited for the Broncos and Vikings.

There are 16 games today, including a doubleheader in Boston against the visiting Royals. All but two start in the afternoon — the second half of that twin bill and the STL @ PHI national TV game at 8:00 pm. That means you need to enter early. There will be leagues added later with a 3:00 or 4:00 deadline, but the biggest Guaranteed Prize Pools with the most players to choose from close at 1:07 EDT.

Once again on Friday, the cancellation bug bit a lot of people who didn’t update their MLB lineups. We warned you about the weather in Baltimore, but didn’t expect the White Sox postponement. In the most unusual circumstances of all, the Red Sox called off their game because of a city-wide manhunt — thankfully successful — for the suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing.

I was wrong twice about the Phillies game. First, they managed to play seven innings before the rain made it impossible to finish. Second, it was the best start yet for Roy Halladay, who isn’t quite in vintage ‘Doc’ form but tossed a 2-hitter and struck out six in an abbreviated complete-game victory. Great to see for one of my favorite players, not so lucrative in my leagues.

My weather advice was dubious on Thursday, but our baseball picks were excellent. Hope you cashed too.

There’s a full slate of Friday MLB games, all in the evening. Playing amateur meteorologist again, a gigantic line of thunderstorms stretches from south of New Orleans through Detroit into Canada. It’s moving eastward, with possible tornadoes in its path. Games in Philadelphia and Baltimore seem most likely to be affected; depending on the storm’s easterly progress, it could threaten the Mets game as well.

April is the cruelest month, said T.S. Eliot, long before there were daily baseball fantasy leagues. Wednesday was particularly cruel, with three games being cancelled. The blizzard in Denver and the monsoon in Chicago were not unexpected, but the Angels-Twins tilt wasn’t postponed until it was too late to make lineup changes.
