The East Coast is getting crushed by rain on Easter Sunday.<\/p>\n

The Yankees-Marlins and Nationals-Dodgers games are both starting in delays. A similar worry exists at Fenway Park for the Boston Red Sox<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Even if a delay doesn’t happen, weather could have an impact on proceedings eventually.<\/p>\n

The Red Sox are slated to host the San Diego Padres<\/a> in a series finale, and given that they won’t welcome the Padres to town the rest of the season, it would make sense to do what they can to play this game.<\/p>\n

It’s supposed to pit Padres righty Walker Buehler against Red Sox lefty Ranger Suarez.<\/p>\n

The teams will also hope the schedule shakes out well enough that those guys don’t start the game only to have a lengthy delay and have to be pulled out early.<\/p>\n

Red Sox-Padres weather at Fenway Park<\/p>\n

Rain is in the forecast all day long in Boston, and if anything, it may increase in the 5 p.m. and beyond window.<\/p>\n

Because of that, they may be best served trying to get the game done. If they have to delay early, there may be another one coming later.<\/p>\n

At this point, the best hope is simply that April showers will eventually bring around some May flowers.<\/p>\n
