Why Brewers-Mets, Braves-Phillies MLB Opening Day games are already postponed

The New York Mets, Milwaukee Brewers, Philadelphia Phillies and Atlanta Braves will need to wait an extra day to start the 2024 MLB season.

Rain in Thursday's forecast caused both the Mets (who are hosting the Brewers) and the Phillies (who are hosting the Braves) to postpone their Opening Day games from Thursday afternoon to Friday afternoon.

The Mets will host the Brewers at 1:40 p.m. ET on Friday. The Phillies and Braves will get going at 3:05 p.m. ET. MLB's other 26 teams are still set to be in action Thursday with what's now a 13-game Opening Day schedule.
