Park Factors
Last Updated: 11:52 PM
It will be around 80° to start with at each of the 3 games on Thursday. The most impactful wind is in The Bronx where it's expected to blow in from center at 8 mph for Rays / Yankees.
Both Great American Ball Park and Yankee Stadium are rated well on the positive side for home runs on Thursday. This has mostly to do with their dimensions with the decent weather providing a small boost. As has been mentioned here recently, the model is currently downgrading GABP for home runs as fly balls in Cincinnati have been resulting in homers less often than expected this year. The downgrade is factored into the rating on Thursday.
The normally pitcher-friendly T-Mobile Park gets a small boost from the weather on Tuesday as temps in the high 70s are well above average in Seattle.

Great American BP 7:10 | +26% | -7% | +2% | +13% | Low | 11  | 9  | 9 | 79° | 77° | 75° | 79% | 1015 | Small | 683 | +0 | Bad | Avg | The smallest outfield in MLB, offset partially by a taller left-field wall. Stadium architecture dampens the effect from wind but hot days can turn GABP into a home run paradise. | +0.59 | -0.24 | +0.19 | +1.10 | |||||
Yankee Stadium 1:05 | +23% | -4% | -4% | +7% | High | 8  | 8 | 7  | 82° | 82° | 81° | 61% | 1017 | Variable | 54 | -6 | Avg | Great | A rounded asymmetrical outfield with a very shallow right field wall. The short porch is balanced out by a larger-than-average left field, though still very short to the foul pole on that side. | +0.52 | -0.14 | -0.41 | +0.62 | |||||
T-Mobile Park 9:40 | +2% | -10% | -1% | -3% | Medium | 9  | 9  | 7 | 77° | 75° | 73° | 54% | 1017 | 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. | +0.05 | -0.37 | -0.07 | -0.29 |
