Park Factors
Last Updated: 11:13 AM
Mild temps in the 70s and 80s are expected across the league on Tuesday, aside from Atlanta where it will be in the low 90s for Giants / Braves.
Some of the most interesting(?) weather on the slate is at Steinbrenner Field where there's a decent chance of storms around game time for White Sox / Rays. This weather source is currently showing wind blowing out toward the short porch in right. However, as is often the case with storms in the area, there are conflicting forecasts depending on the source with directions ranging from SE to NW around game time. More consistent forecasts figure to come later in the day, but even then we're facing a possible rain delay or postponement. It will certainly be better for hitters if the wind is coming more from the West (as shown below) as the minor league venue has been highly receptive to wind this season.
Coors Field ranks atop the list when it comes to overall run environment on Tuesday. It will be a fairly typical day at the high-altitude venue with mid 70s and minimal wind in Denver.
Wrigley Field will get some decent hitting weather on Tuesday, though not quite as good if the wind were pointed a bit further North. It's going to be in the low 80s with wind slightly out to left for Royals / Cubs tonight.

Coors Field 8:40 | +14% | +25% | +10% | +20% | Low | 6  | 12  | 11 | 81° | 77° | 75° | 43% | 1008 | X-Large | 5,183 | +29 | Great | Avg | An extreme outlier of a stadium. 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. | +0.31 | +0.86 | +1.02 | +1.79 | |||||
Steinbrenner Field 7:05 | +32% | -3% | -1% | +10% | Very High | 7  | 4  | 11  | 86° | 84° | 84° | 67% | 1015 | Variable | 48 | Poor | ? | The temporary home of the Rays. 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. | +0.71 | -0.12 | -0.15 | +0.89 | ||||||
Citizens Bank Park 6:45 | +18% | +2% | -3% | +8% | Very High | 4 | 6  | 7  | 77° | 77° | 75° | 61% | 1020 | Small | 9 | -3 | Bad | Great | One of the smaller outfields in MLB. Relies on tall fences to keep home runs from getting out of hand. The most wind-receptive venue outside of Wrigley. | +0.41 | +0.08 | -0.37 | +0.67 | |||||
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 | +0.52 | +0.35 | +0.60 | ||||||||||||
Nationals Park 6:45 | +5% | +7% | +4% | +6% | Med-High | 6 | 6 | 5 | 86° | 84° | 81° | 39% | 1018 | Medium | 25 | -2 | Great | Great | A horizontal-shaped outfield with taller-than-average fences. 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 | +0.24 | +0.46 | +0.57 | |||||
Truist Park 7:15 | +13% | -1% | +1% | +6% | Medium | 9  | 6 | 5 | 86° | 84° | 84° | 68% | 1014 | Medium | 1,050 | +3 | Poor | Great | An unevenly shaped outfield with a deep left side. The tall fence in right makes up for a shallow right field corner. Benefits from warm temperatures and relatively high altitude. | +0.30 | -0.04 | +0.14 | +0.55 | |||||
PNC Park 6:40 | -4% | +10% | +3% | +6% | Med-High | 6 | 5  | 4 | 82° | 81° | 79° | 46% | 1018 | Variable | 743 | +5 | Good | Bad | An asymmetrical venue with an extremely deep left field fence. 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. | -0.09 | +0.34 | +0.34 | +0.50 | |||||
Progressive Field 6:40 | -9% | +9% | +3% | +4% | High | 10 | 9 | 8 | 79° | 77° | 75° | 51% | 1019 | Small | 582 | -5 | Avg | Poor | A small outfield with two distinct halves. A 19-foot fence guards most of the outfield's left side while the shorter right-field fence leaves that half vulnerable to home runs. | -0.21 | +0.31 | +0.28 | +0.35 | |||||
Rogers Centre 7:07 | +1% | +12% | -5% | +0% | Minimal | 6  | 6 | 5 | 75° | 73° | 72° | 56% | 1021 | Medium | 247 | +0 | Great | Good | A neutral-sized retractable roof venue where every opportunity is taken to play outdoors. A closed roof is well-received by hitters on cold Toronto days but can favor pitchers when its hot out. | +0.03 | +0.43 | -0.54 | +0.03 | |||||
Wrigley Field 8:05 | +9% | -8% | -2% | -1% | Extreme | 10 | 9 | 9 | 82° | 81° | 79° | 56% | 1016 | Medium | 596 | -2 | Poor | Bad | The most wind-receptive venue in baseball (by a lot). 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. | +0.20 | -0.26 | -0.22 | -0.07 | |||||
T-Mobile Park 9:40 | +7% | -11% | -3% | -3% | Medium | 7  | 7 | 6 | 81° | 79° | 75° | 53% | 1013 | Small | 10 | -6 | Poor | Bad | One of the smallest outfields in MLB, justified by cooler weather and short carry distances. Strikeouts are boosted by low altitude and a tricky batters eye. | +0.16 | -0.38 | -0.31 | -0.28 | |||||
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 | -0.33 | -0.31 | -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. | -0.24 | +0.14 | -0.22 | -0.33 | ||||||||||||
Dodger Stadium 10:10 | +9% | -8% | -5% | -5% | Consistent | 9  | 7 | 6 | 72° | 70° | 68° | 64% | 1013 | Medium | 267 | +3 | Avg | Great | A symmetrical outfield with a highly consistent wind pattern (out to right-center). Plays deep down the lines and particularly shallow to center field. | +0.20 | -0.29 | -0.54 | -0.47 | |||||
Citi Field 7:10 | -2% | -14% | -10% | -9% | Low | 9 | 9 | 8 | 79° | 77° | 75° | 49% | 1020 | Medium | 54 | -1 | Poor | Poor | An unusually-shaped outfield with deep corners, shallow gaps, and a deep straight-away measurement to center. One of the worst venues for batter contact in the league. | -0.04 | -0.47 | -1.03 | -0.78 | |||||
