• Cold and rainy conditions have caused a near-record number of postponements to start the MLB season.
• The severe weather started on Opening Day and has continued steadily throughout April, with a whopping six games pushed back from Sunday's slate.
• Teams will have to get creative as they attempt to make up for lost games as the season continues.

Severe weather has been wreaking havoc on baseball through the first few weeks of the 2018 MLB season.

The trend started on Opening Day when games in Detroit and Cincinnati were postponed due to bad weather. From there, things have only gotten worse, with a whopping six games this past Sunday set to be rescheduled later in the season. Additionally, the Boston Red Sox Patriots Day tradition of hosting an early game on the day of the Boston Marathon was also a victim of poor weather this year — the first time that game has been canceled since 1984.See the rest of the story at Business Insider
