On Wednesday night, the Chicago Cubs and Cleveland Indians will play Game 2 of the World Series.
They'll begin play an hour earlier than scheduled, however, due to potential rain in the Cleveland area. In other words, the game will start around 7 p.m. ET:
Tomorrow's World Series Game 2 has been moved to 7:08 instead of 8:08 p.m. due to rain in the forecast.

It's worth noting that Weather.com has Cleveland with an 80 percent chance of precipitation come Wednesday night. That percentage climbs as the night progresses, so, if nothing else, MLB is giving itself a wider window to sneak the game in. We'll see if the plan works.
