Park Factors
Last Updated: 4:50 PM
There's a wide range of hitting conditions on Wednesday with temperatures ranging from 60s to 90s. Coors Field once again soars above the rest of the slate with temps expected to reach 95° in Denver for Blue Jays / Rockies. The park is assigned a nearly 40% boost compared to the MLB average when it comes to runs this afternoon.
It's going to be especially hot on the West Coast as both LA stadiums will get afternoon games in the 90s. The out-blowing wind is nothing new for either Dodger or Angel Stadium (it blows that direction nearly every game), but 90° days are pretty rare. The duo are rated the top venues for homers today outside of Coors.
Fenway Park gets its second day in a row of pitcher-friendly weather as it will be in the 60s in Boston with light wind blowing in from the right side. The normally run-friendly venue is rated close to neutral for Royals / Red Sox this evening.
There will be some in-blowing wind this afternoon to counteract the warm temps - particularly in Detroit, Pittsburgh, and Chicago. It will be in the 80s with moderate wind blowing in at each of these venues. The most notable of the trio is Wrigley Field where the wind is especially impactful.

Coors Field 3:10 | +27% | +27% | +11% | +31% | Low | 6  | 11  | 13  | 93° | 95° | 95° | 10% | 1015 | 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. | +0.60 | +0.93 | +1.14 | +2.69 | |||||
Nationals Park 6:45 | +4% | +12% | +5% | +11% | Med-High | 7  | 6 | 2 | 79° | 77° | 77° | 57% | 1027 | 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. | +0.09 | +0.42 | +0.49 | +0.93 | |||||
Chase Field 9:40 | -3% | +15% | +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. | -0.06 | +0.53 | +0.39 | +0.70 | ||||||||||||
Angel Stadium 4:07 | +18% | -9% | +4% | +6% | Consistent | 7  | 8 | 9 | 90° | 91° | 93° | 41% | 1016 | 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. | +0.40 | -0.30 | +0.40 | +0.51 | |||||
Dodger Stadium 4:10 | +17% | -6% | +1% | +5% | Consistent | 7 | 9 | 9 | 91° | 93° | 93° | 40% | 1016 | 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. | +0.38 | -0.22 | +0.10 | +0.42 | |||||
Fenway Park 7:10 | -24% | +14% | +10% | +3% | High | 6  | 5 | 4 | 68° | 66° | 66° | 72% | 1030 | 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. | -0.54 | +0.49 | +1.09 | +0.28 | |||||
Citizens Bank Park 12:35 | +7% | +0% | -2% | +2% | Very High | 7 | 7 | 8 | 77° | 79° | 79° | 67% | 1028 | 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. | +0.17 | +0.01 | -0.22 | +0.15 | |||||
Comerica Park 1:10 | -14% | -2% | +7% | -2% | High | 9  | 10 | 10 | 84° | 86° | 88° | 50% | 1024 | 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. | -0.32 | -0.08 | +0.73 | -0.19 | |||||
LoanDepot Park 4:40 | -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. | -0.25 | +0.17 | -0.22 | -0.34 | ||||||||||||
Truist Park 7:15 | +2% | -15% | +1% | -5% | Medium | 7  | 7 | 6 | 81° | 79° | 77° | 74% | 1022 | 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. | +0.05 | -0.53 | +0.08 | -0.48 | |||||
PNC Park 12:35 | -32% | +13% | +3% | -5% | Med-High | 9  | 9 | 11 | 81° | 81° | 82° | 48% | 1026 | 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. | -0.73 | +0.44 | +0.32 | -0.48 | |||||
T-Mobile Park 9:40 | -1% | -9% | -4% | -6% | Medium | 8 | 8 | 9 | 72° | 70° | 68° | 64% | 1018 | 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. | -0.03 | -0.31 | -0.40 | -0.51 | |||||
Globe Life Field 2:35 | -4% | -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. | -0.08 | -0.36 | -0.28 | -0.65 | ||||||||||||
Wrigley Field 2:20 | -16% | -9% | +2% | -10% | Extreme | 6  | 7 | 7 | 82° | 82° | 81° | 64% | 1024 | 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. | -0.35 | -0.33 | +0.25 | -0.84 | |||||
Citi Field 1:10 | -8% | -17% | -6% | -14% | Low | 7 | 8 | 9 | 77° | 79° | 79° | 40% | 1029 | 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. | -0.17 | -0.60 | -0.68 | -1.23 | |||||
