The Boston Red Sox have altered their weekend series schedule against the Chicago Cubs due to an impending storm forecasted to bring heavy rain and strong winds to the area. The Sunday afternoon game has been rescheduled to Friday, creating a split doubleheader with the first game starting at 1:05 p.m. EST. The originally planned night game on Friday has been moved up to 6:05 p.m. EST. This decision was made in consultation with Major League Baseball. The Cubs are currently competing for one of the National League’s three wild-card spots. There has been no change announced for Saturday’s game, which remains set for a 7:15 p.m. EST start.
QUESTION: How might rescheduling games due to weather impact the players’ performance and the overall outcome of the series?
