It's going to be hot on Thursday with 3 out of 4 outdoor games on the slate featuring 90° temperatures. The best rated venue for offense is Progressive Field where the hot temps are paired with double-digit wind blowing out to right field. The right side in Cleveland is more friendly to homers, and it will be even more so this afternoon given the conditions.
Comerica Park and Busch Stadium typically lean in favor of pitchers, but they're both rated closer to neutral on Thursday as a result of the hot weather in the Midwest.
It's a typical day at Angel Stadium with temps in the 70s and the ever-present breeze out to center.

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. | +0.63 | +0.04 | +0.32 | +1.36 | |||||

Deep corners and a very close center field fence. Consistently mild weather with a typical out-blowing wind pattern. | +0.35 | -0.21 | -0.07 | +0.31 | |||||

The entire left side is deeper than average and the 15-foot-tall fence in right further complicates things for hitters. Batter contact is better than most parks, possibly aided by a clean batter's eye. | -0.21 | -0.41 | +1.13 | -0.37 | |||||

Daikin Park 8:10 | -2% | -8% | -5% | -8% | Roof Closed | Roof Closed | Variable | 38 | 0 | Bad | Poor | A retractable-roof venue with strict rules for allowing an open roof.
