All 30 teams were set to play in Major League Baseball's formal 2024 Opening Day on TrendPulseThursday, but inclement weather on the East Coast had already led to multiple games being postponed Wednesday afternoon.
The Mets-Brewers game at Citi Field (New York) and Phillies-Brewers contest at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia were both bagged about 24 hours before the scheduled first pitch.
Those teams all had a built-in off day after the scheduled Opening Day – for this very reason – and will instead play their first games of the season on Friday.
Mets vs. Brewers postponed

The Mets announced Wednesday that the originally scheduled Opening Day game against the Milwaukee Brewers on Thursday has been moved to Friday at 1:40 p.m.
Last season, the Mets saw their first home game against the Marlins pushed back a day due to inclement weather that never came.
Freddy Peralta was scheduled to start for the Brewers, with lefty Jose Quintana taking the mound for the Mets in the opener.
