Key takeaways:

While Gambling911.com is seeing the potential for delay of some games on Wednesday May 22, 2024, we do not believe there will be any games impacted in such a way that will result in postponements or suspensions.  We do, however, have a game that is being played early Wednesday afternoon that is a continuation of a suspended Tuesday night game.

What Happens to My Orioles-Cardinals Bets Following Tuesday Night Game Postponement

The Orioles and St. Louis Cardinals suspended their game Tuesday night after a rainstorm rolled over Busch Stadium ahead of the bottom of the sixth inning. They plan to resume the contest, which was tied 1-1 when the grounds crew rolled out the tarp, at 12:15 p.m. Wednesday and play their series finale 30 minutes after.

Sportsbooks have different rules on suspended games just like they do for postponements. Most books may keep the bet active if the game is going to be resumed within 24 to 36 hours.

With DraftKings, for example, Bets on games suspended after they have started will have action as long as the game is resumed within 36 hours of the original start time.

More Potential Weather Impacts

Mets @ Guardians - There is a potential for this game to start a bit later than its scheduled 1:10 pm start time with storms ending as this one is set to get underway. 

Orioles @ Cardinals - The continuation of this game is almost certain to be impacted by showers.  There is a potential of stoppages but the game will be played.

Giants @ Pirates - Late storms should not impact this game, however, there is the slightest chance these move in just as this game is concluding.  We're talking a 10%, if that.
