When the series moves back to Los Angeles, the summer temperatures of 76 degrees in Game 1 and 77 degrees in Game 2 will be just a memory.

A dip in the jet stream will keep things cool and unsettled in the West. Temperatures on the first pitch for Games 6 and 7 will be 60°.

Should the Yankees come back and take the series to a decisive Game 7, it will be interesting for more reasons than the game itself. There are increasing signs that it will rain in Los Angeles on Saturday for the first time since May 15th.
