Mostly mild weather is on the docket to start the week with only a handful of games expecting temperatures above 80°. The best hitting weather is in Tampa where it will be 90° with wind blowing slightly out to right at the start of White Sox / Rays. The short porch at Steinbrenner Field can be one of the top home run spots in the league, especially when it's hot out and the wind is blowing that direction.
Truist Park isn't typically known for producing homers, but it's rated positive on Monday with temps in the 80s and 10 mph wind blowing out. The right side is better for home runs in Atlanta with the left field gap measuring deeper than than the league average.
Coors Field is the top run environment on the slate as it's expected to be a dry 90° in Denver this evening. Overall, the high-altitude venue is rated close to its season-long norm on Monday, and the in-blowing wind shouldn't be much of a factor.
An 8 mph wind is expected to blow in from right field at Wrigley this evening where even light breezes can have an impact on the game. The North Side park is rated pitcher-friendly for Royals / Cubs.

Played 4,000 feet higher in altitude than the next closest MLB park. Has an extra-large outfield to accommodate much farther carry distances. Excellent for batter contact as the high altitude limits pitch effectiveness. | +0.62 | +0.53 | +1.42 | +2.22 | |||||

Features the exact same dimensions as Yankee Stadium. Very short to right and deeper-than-average to most of left field. Should usually be hitter-friendly, especially during the summer. At risk for lots of rainouts. | +0.84 | -0.10 | +0.55 | +1.56 | ||||||

Shallow to center field and deep to the corners. A 16-foot wall covers most of the right-field gap, compensating for how close it is at parts. | +0.10 | +0.39 | +0.55 | +0.79 | |||||

Tall fences guard against an otherwise shallow outfield. The 21-foot-tall fence down the right field line makes a good target for extra base hits in the yard. | -0.01 | +0.51 | +0.12 | +0.68 | |||||
Chase Field 9:40 | -2% | +15% | +3% | +7% | Roof Closed | Roof Closed | Large | 1,082 | +11 | Great | Bad | The highest MLB altitude outside of Coors. Large outfield to accommodate longer carry distance on fly balls. Massive 25-foot center field fence. | -0.05 | +0.54 | +0.35 | +0.61 | ||||||||||||

Strikeouts are boosted by low altitude and a tricky batters eye. | +0.10 | -0.31 | -0.28 | -0.27 | |||||
Globe Life Field 8:05 | +4% | -9% | -3% | -3% | Roof Closed | Roof Closed | Medium | 616 | +8 | Avg | Great | A retractable roof venue with a zig-zag outfield. The left side is particularly deep while the right is better primed for homers. | +0.10 | -0.31 | -0.33 | -0.28 | ||||||||||||
LoanDepot Park 6:40 | -10% | +4% | -2% | -4% | Roof Closed | Roof Closed | Large | 15 | +0 | Good | Avg | A retractable-roof field that is normally enclosed. The tall fences and large outfield promote doubles while suppressing home runs. | -0.23 | +0.14 | -0.23 | -0.33 | ||||||||||||

A closed roof is well-received by hitters on cold Toronto days but can favor pitchers when its hot out. | -0.05 | +0.11 | -0.56 | -0.48 | |||||

Out-blowing wind tends to correlate with warmer temperatures, and vice versa. The Corners are very deep and guarded by 16-foot-tall-fences. An extremely shallow porch in left-center makes for a cheap home run target. | -0.31 | -0.24 | -0.21 | -0.89 | |||||
