A: Indianapolis setting a new 24 hour calendar rainfall record(Old record is 7.20 inches set in 2003)
B: Denver Breaking its all time record High Temperature of 105 Degrees Fahrenheit
They both seem surprisingly low, would have thought Denver could hit 45c(113f) and for Indianapolis would have thought at the very least a foot(30.5cm) of rain. I'll go with Indianapolis simply because rainfall records are easier to break than temperature.

I don't know that that's necessarily true at all, but I can sort of see why you might say it given the climate you live in, lol. For a place that's relatively dry like Denver, you could just as easily say they might be more likely to break high temperature records because dry air heats faster. But since the question asked was only about either city breaking its own record, you'd have to look at which record appears to correspond with a greater standard deviation from normal. Since they're both records, it should be somewhat similar, but of course due to the limited time of record-keeping, one record could very well be a demonstrably more anomalous event. But to answer the question accurately would require this type of analysis.
The rainfall one which isn't even impressively high for a Midwest City. It would only take a difference of 0.01 to break that record. Denver, OTOH, is too far above sea level to get much above 105F.

Considering that Nashville was able to get over 20 inches of rain in a 24 hour period and that it's not that far away, it's not hard to see Indianapolis hitting say 8 inches?
