    Raj knows he will regret it, he just can't stay inside on a day this nice.

    Explanation:

    A comma splice occurs when two independent clauses which can stand on their own are separated by a comma. Instead, they should be joined by semicolon, by a comma and a coordinating conjunction, or by dividing the clauses into two separate sentences. Thus, the revised sentences are the following:

    Raj wants to get tickets for the baseball game. He knows it might rain though.

    The skies are blue; there is not a cloud in the sky.

    Raj knows he will regret it, but he just can't stay inside on a day this nice.
