Park Factors
Last Updated: 4:54 PM
Monday features a top-heavy slate of park factors with Coors Field and Fenway Park rated the clear top venues for offense.
It's going to be a dry 95° in Denver for Blue Jays / Rockies with 10-20 mph wind blowing out to center. The wind isn't particularly important at Coors as even double-digit speeds don't tend to be impactful. The hot temps and low pressure are good for carry, while the very low humidity on Monday is worse. Overall, it's a slightly positive weather effect for MLB's top run-producing venue.
Hitter-friendly Fenway Park gets a boost from the weather on Monday with temps above 80° to start the game and 10 mph wind blowing out to left-center. High fly balls are more likely to clear the shallow, tall fences in that direction when the wind is blowing out.
Higher air pressure is working in favor of pitchers for much of the slate on Monday, including Wrigley Field where the wind is also blowing in from right field. Even though it's only 9 mph, single-digit speeds are still impactful at Wrigley.
Citi Field joins Wrigley at the bottom of the slate on Monday, rating neutral for homers and negative for runs. The main reasons Citi typically favors pitchers is because it's one of the worst parks for batter contact and hits inside the yard - particularly doubles.

Coors Field 8:40 | +30% | +12% | +14% | +28% | Low | 19  | 17 | 16  | 91° | 90° | 86° | 16% | 1007 | 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. | +0.68 | +0.43 | +1.48 | +2.49 | |||||
Fenway Park 7:10 | +6% | +15% | +10% | +17% | High | 9 | 8 | 7 | 81° | 79° | 79° | 56% | 1020 | Variable | 20 | -3 | Good | Great | A one-of-a-kind shape with a deep right field and a 37-foot-tall fence guarding the extremely shallow left side. Similarly, the 18-foot-tall fence in center offsets the close distance to home plate. While the tall fences help neutralize homers, they are excellent targets for singles and doubles. | +0.14 | +0.53 | +1.07 | +1.48 | |||||
Chase Field 9:40 | -3% | +16% | +4% | +8% | 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. | -0.07 | +0.54 | +0.39 | +0.70 | ||||||||||||

Relies on tall fences to keep home runs from getting out of hand. The most wind-receptive venue outside of Wrigley. | +0.40 | +0.02 | -0.25 | +0.52 | |||||
Angel Stadium 9:38 | +17% | -4% | -2% | +3% | Consistent | 7  | 7  | 6 | 82° | 79° | 77° | 47% | 1011 | Small | 160 | +5 | Avg | Good | Horizontally shaped to the extreme. Deep corners and a very close center field fence. Consistently mild weather with a typical out-blowing wind pattern. | +0.38 | -0.15 | -0.19 | +0.28 | |||||

Plays deep down the lines and particularly shallow to center field. | +0.29 | -0.13 | -0.12 | +0.23 | |||||
Comerica Park 6:40 | -16% | +4% | +8% | +1% | High | 6  | 4 | 4 | 82° | 81° | 79° | 44% | 1021 | Large | 596 | -3 | Avg | Avg | A challenging venue for home runs with a very deep center field. 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. | -0.37 | +0.13 | +0.83 | +0.06 | |||||
LoanDepot Park 6:40 | -11% | +5% | -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 | +0.18 | -0.22 | -0.32 | ||||||||||||
PNC Park 6:40 | -21% | +12% | -1% | -4% | Med-High | 6  | 4  | 4  | 81° | 82° | 81° | 42% | 1021 | 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. | -0.47 | +0.41 | -0.06 | -0.32 | |||||
Truist Park 7:15 | -15% | -15% | +11% | -5% | Medium | 8 | 8 | 8 | 64° | 64° | 63° | 95% | 1018 | 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. | -0.34 | -0.53 | +1.13 | -0.45 | |||||
Globe Life Field 8:05 | -3% | -10% | -3% | -7% | 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. | -0.06 | -0.36 | -0.29 | -0.62 | ||||||||||||
Citi Field 7:10 | +1% | -17% | -6% | -11% | Low | 9 | 8 | 7 | 86° | 82° | 81° | 40% | 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. | +0.01 | -0.61 | -0.61 | -0.92 | |||||

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. | -0.44 | -0.18 | -0.12 | -1.03 | |||||
