Let's try this again today.

The MLB Speedway Classic was delayed twice for rain on Saturday and made it to the bottom of the first inning before officials were forced to postpone Braves vs. Reds until Sunday at 1 p.m. ET (FOX).

The updated MLB weather report does show rain in the forecast for Bristol Motor Speedway on Sunday afternoon, though the chances are lower than they were heading into yesterday's game.

Below is Sunday's full MLB weather report for Braves vs. Reds, including the chances that the Speedway Classic in Bristol, Tenn. is delayed for the second straight day.

Updated MLB Weather Report for Braves vs. Reds

*MLB weather report updated Sunday at 11:05 a.m. ET 

While rain is possible again on Sunday, the National Weather Service's forecast is much more optimistic today.

A high temperature of 79 degrees and calm winds are expected; however, the potential precipitation is much more important.

There's a 20% chance of rain on Sunday afternoon in Bristol, which remains at 20% through tonight.

Looking at the hourly breakdown, there's a 16% chance of precipitation at 1 p.m. ET — the scheduled restart time for Braves vs. Reds — which then bounces between a 17-18% chance until 8 p.m. ET.

Assuming this MLB weather report holds, there should be no issue getting Braves vs. Reds underway and completed on Sunday.

Holding a 1-0 lead when today's game resumes, Cincinnati is a -215 favorite against Atlanta based on live MLB odds from FanDuel.
