Will the Detroit Tigers game in Philadelphia get canceled because of smoke?

The Detroit Tigers series finale matchup with the Philadelphia Phillies was moved from Wednesday to Thursday due to smoke from the Canadian wild fires clouding the air and making for bad air quality.

But despite the postponement, the game on Thursday may still be in question.

The Canadian wild fires are still wreaking havoc on the East Coast, with some jarring photos and time lapse videos painting a picture of how the smoke is taking over the city.

An unusually high number of roughly 400 wild fires in Canada is causing the smoke issues and forcing people to take precautions and extra efforts to stay safe as the wind blows the smoke south.
