By Kevin Roth, sports meteorologist. Weather guide for DFS players and bettors.

Home advantage

Atlanta plays in Mercedes-Benz Stadium in downtown Atlanta. Retractable roof; MLS matches often play with the roof closed for heat, rain, or cold. Closed-roof conditions are climate-controlled with no weather variance.

Road environments

Eastern Conference road environments span Miami warm humid, DC mid-Atlantic, Toronto retractable, New England coastal, Chicago Soldier Field open-air.

Weather angle

Roof status is the day-of-match leverage. Closed roof removes weather; open roof plays as warm humid Southeast conditions.
