Park Factors
Last Updated: 1:35 AM
Especially hot weather is in store for Monday with 90° and higher expected for about half of the outdoor games on the slate. The best hitting conditions are in Sacramento where the hot temperatures are paired with double-digit wind pointed out toward left-center (its typical direction). The minor league Sutter Health Park has been highly receptive to wind this season, which is a main reason it's produced so many home runs.
The only other real significant wind on the slate is in Kansas City where it will blow out at moderate speeds for Braves / Royals. Given the warm temps as well, Kauffman Stadium is rated positive for offense on Monday, although still on the pitcher's side of neutral for homers due to the huge outfield.
Great American Ball Park tops the slate for home run environment on Monday where the 90° temps make the small outfield more vulnerable to home runs than it usually is.
It will be in the typical high 50s in San Francisco for Pirates / Giants this evening. As usual, the out-blowing wind can be ignored as the forecast doesn't translate to the field as expected at Oracle.

Stadium architecture dampens the effect from wind but hot days can turn GABP into a home run paradise. | +0.85 | -0.28 | 0.00 | +1.37 | |||||

The left-field corner is particularly deep while most of the outfield perimeter is closer than average. A 21-foot-tall fence compensates for the short distance down the right field line. | +0.15 | +0.23 | +0.61 | +0.74 | |||||

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. | -0.08 | -0.16 | +1.21 | +0.20 | |||||

Deep to each side but shallow in the gaps and to center field. The horizontal shape reduces the number of hits that fall into play. | +0.53 | -0.30 | -1.37 | -0.04 | |||||
Oracle Park 9:45 | -25% | -3% | +10% | -6% | Consistent | 14 | 12 | 11 | 59° | 57° | 57° | 91% | 1016 | Variable | 63 | 0 | Good | Poor | A uniquely shaped field with a 24 foot-tall fence guarding a very shallow right-field corner. Straight-away center is close to home plate but extends to an extremely deep right-field gap. Cool temperatures are the norm and the ever-present out-blowing wind is neutralized by the stadium architecture. | -0.57 | -0.12 | +1.05 | -0.53 | |||||
Daikin Park 8:10 | +2% | -8% | -5% | -6% | Roof Closed | Roof Closed | Variable | 38 | 0 | Bad | Poor | A retractable-roof venue with strict rules for allowing an open roof.
