Scratching my head at the game time

AQI near Jesuit at 430 pm is showing at 170 and the temperature for the game will start at about 100’ and drop to about 95 ‘ by games end.

Had they started the game at 7pm, the estimated AQI would be slightly higher at about 180, but the temperatures would be considerably lower, probably 10-15 degrees.
