Park Factors
Last Updated: 11:34 PM
It will be hot across most of Saturday's slate with 10 out of 14 games featuring temps in the 80s and 90s. The best hitting weather is in Kansas City where it will be 95° at start with double-digit wind blowing out to left field. Kauffman Stadium is one of the toughest home run parks in the league due to its huge outfield, but the venue is rated close to neutral for homers today due to the good conditions.
The slate is once again headlined by Coors Field and Sutter Health Park where it will be in the 80s this evening. Sutter Health will feature its usual out-blowing wind pattern which has been largely responsible for its big offensive numbers this year. The wind is blowing in at Coors, which isn't much of a factor as the Denver venue isn't that bothered by the wind.
Fenway Park climbs back up the chart on Saturday after pitcher-friendlier weather yesterday. It will be in the 80s this afternoon for Marlins / Red Sox with Fenway rated neutral for homers and well on the positive side for in-play hits.
It will be around 90° in Cincinnati for Brewers / Reds this evening where the small dimensions of Great American Ball Park are set up well for home runs. GABP has been the league's best park for homers prior to 2025. Today's rating is still high despite this year's model downgrade.
As usual, the wind forecast is showing "out to center" at Oracle Park for Rays / Giants. This can be safely ignored as wind inside the Bay Area venue doesn't match the "always out" forecast. It will be in the low 60s this evening in San Francisco.

Coors Field 8:10 | +24% | +24% | +10% | +28% | Low | 8  | 12  | 7 | 82° | 81° | 81° | 38% | 1011 | 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. | +0.55 | +0.83 | +1.11 | +2.46 | |||||
Sutter Health Park 10:05 | +32% | +6% | +6% | +20% | Very High | 13  | 14 | 14 | 84° | 81° | 77° | 46% | 1012 | Large | 30 | Good | Avg | The temporary home of the Athletics. Features a spacious outfield with a tiny right-field fence. Standard to the corners and center, bowed outward in the gaps. | +0.73 | +0.23 | +0.61 | +1.73 | ||||||
Fenway Park 4:10 | +2% | +16% | +12% | +17% | High | 7  | 8  | 8 | 82° | 82° | 81° | 47% | 1018 | 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. | +0.05 | +0.55 | +1.30 | +1.50 | |||||
Nationals Park 4:05 | +15% | +9% | +5% | +14% | Med-High | 4 | 4 | 3 | 95° | 93° | 91° | 45% | 1018 | 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. | +0.34 | +0.33 | +0.49 | +1.23 | |||||
Kauffman Stadium 7:10 | -12% | +20% | +7% | +9% | High | 9 | 7 | 6 | 93° | 90° | 88° | 48% | 1015 | X-Large | 750 | +5 | Great | Good | The largest non-Coors outfield in MLB. Perfectly symmetrical with a 9-foot-tall fence rounding the perimeter. | -0.28 | +0.70 | +0.75 | +0.79 | |||||

The more shallow right side is guarded by a 23-foot-tall fence with a unique balcony overhanging the field. | +0.04 | +0.23 | +0.69 | +0.75 | |||||
Progressive Field 7:10 | +17% | +1% | +1% | +8% | High | 2  | 2 | 5 | 84° | 84° | 82° | 69% | 1017 | Small | 582 | -5 | Avg | Poor | A small outfield with two distinct halves. 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. | +0.39 | +0.04 | +0.16 | +0.74 | |||||
Great American BP 6:40 | +29% | -9% | 0% | +8% | Low | 6 | 5 | 4 | 91° | 90° | 88° | 50% | 1017 | 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. | +0.66 | -0.30 | -0.03 | +0.73 | |||||
Rogers Centre 3:07 | +5% | +6% | -4% | +2% | Minimal | 7  | 8 | 8 | 86° | 88° | 88° | 52% | 1017 | Medium | 247 | +0 | Great | Good | A neutral-sized retractable roof venue where every opportunity is taken to play outdoors. A closed roof is well-received by hitters on cold Toronto days but can favor pitchers when its hot out. | +0.11 | +0.21 | -0.38 | +0.18 | |||||
Wrigley Field 2:20 | +14% | -12% | +2% | +2% | Extreme | 7 | 9 | 9 | 79° | 77° | 79° | 70% | 1018 | 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. | +0.32 | -0.43 | +0.26 | +0.17 | |||||
Busch Stadium 7:15 | +1% | -9% | +5% | +1% | Med-High | 7 | 6  | 6  | 97° | 95° | 91° | 47% | 1015 | Large | 455 | +3 | Good | Avg | A large, symmetrical outfield with deep corners and gaps. The center field fence is a few feet closer than the MLB standard. | +0.03 | -0.31 | +0.54 | +0.05 | |||||
Dodger Stadium 9:10 | +12% | -6% | -2% | +0% | Consistent | 9 | 7 | 6 | 77° | 73° | 72° | 62% | 1014 | 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. | +0.26 | -0.23 | -0.21 | +0.04 | |||||
Oracle Park 9:05 | -27% | +2% | +12% | -1% | Consistent | 13 | 14 | 12 | 63° | 61° | 59° | 90% | 1015 | 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. | -0.60 | +0.08 | +1.25 | -0.09 | |||||
Citi Field 4:10 | +3% | -9% | -7% | -7% | Low | 9 | 9 | 11 | 84° | 82° | 81° | 54% | 1019 | 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. | +0.06 | -0.31 | -0.74 | -0.61 | |||||
Daikin Park 7:10 | +2% | -9% | -5% | -8% | Roof Closed | Roof Closed | Variable | 38 | 0 | Bad | Poor | A retractable-roof venue with strict rules for allowing an open roof. A one-of-a-kind shape with a particularly shallow left-field fence. Plays deep to center and short to right. | +0.04 | -0.32 | -0.58 | -0.67 | ||||||||||||
