Park Factors
Last Updated: 1:30 AM
Temperatures are cooled down for much of the slate on Monday with 60s and 70s expected for 8 of 11 outdoor games. It will still be hot in both Kansas City and Atlanta with 90° forecasted and light wind blowing out at each venue.
There's a day/night doubleheader between the Brewers and Cubs today. The single-digit wind at Wrigley Field is forecast to blow mostly right-to-left for both games, which are each flagged for possible delay with rain potentially beginning in the late afternoon.
Coors Field is the clear top venue for offense on Monday's slate, but cooler temps in the 70s will allow it to play a bit more friendly to pitchers than it has lately.
It will be in the 60s in Boston and Philadelphia where the cooler temps are paired with high air pressure, both of which prevent the ball from carrying as far. High pressure is also a factor in Detroit this evening, although it will be a bit warmer for Astros / Tigers.

Coors Field 8:40 | +18% | +23% | +8% | +23% | Low | 18  | 14  | 12 | 73° | 73° | 73° | 52% | 1017 | 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. | +0.41 | +0.80 | +0.89 | +2.05 | |||||
Kauffman Stadium 7:40 | -7% | +15% | +10% | +12% | High | 10 | 7 | 2  | 95° | 91° | 90° | 47% | 1013 | X-Large | 750 | +5 | Great | Good | The largest non-Coors outfield in MLB. Perfectly symmetrical with a 9-foot-tall fence rounding the perimeter. | -0.15 | +0.54 | +1.03 | +1.01 | |||||
Chase Field 9:40 | -2% | +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. | -0.05 | +0.53 | +0.42 | +0.73 | ||||||||||||
Angel Stadium 9:38 | +21% | -3% | -2% | +6% | Consistent | 8 | 7 | 6 | 81° | 77° | 73° | 57% | 1012 | 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. | +0.48 | -0.11 | -0.17 | +0.50 | |||||
Comerica Park 6:40 | -14% | +7% | +10% | +5% | High | 10  | 9  | 8 | 81° | 77° | 73° | 54% | 1019 | 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. | -0.31 | +0.23 | +1.12 | +0.47 | |||||
PNC Park 6:40 | -9% | +13% | +4% | +5% | Med-High | 5  | 5  | 4 | 84° | 81° | 79° | 47% | 1018 | 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. | -0.21 | +0.44 | +0.41 | +0.44 | |||||
Fenway Park 7:10 | -15% | +9% | +9% | +4% | High | 6  | 5  | 4 | 64° | 64° | 64° | 54% | 1022 | 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. | -0.33 | +0.32 | +0.96 | +0.38 | |||||
Citizens Bank Park 6:45 | +14% | -2% | -4% | +2% | Very High | 9 | 9 | 7 | 70° | 70° | 70° | 74% | 1020 | 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. | +0.30 | -0.06 | -0.44 | +0.16 | |||||
Truist Park 7:15 | +12% | -9% | +1% | +1% | Medium | 4 | 2 | 2 | 90° | 88° | 86° | 56% | 1014 | 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. | +0.26 | -0.32 | +0.09 | +0.12 | |||||
Wrigley Field 2:20 | +8% | -3% | -5% | -1% | Extreme | 6  | 5 | 4 | 79° | 81° | 82° | 64% | 1017 | 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. | +0.19 | -0.09 | -0.52 | -0.12 | |||||
LoanDepot Park 6:40 | -11% | +6% | -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 | +0.20 | -0.21 | -0.31 | ||||||||||||
Petco Park 9:40 | +3% | -7% | -7% | -7% | Low | 6 | 5 | 4 | 72° | 70° | 70° | 73% | 1013 | Medium | 13 | -2 | Avg | Avg | A medium-sized outfield with consistent weather conditions. Plays shallow to center and deeper to both sides. The San Diego marine layer can reduce carry distance, especially at night. | +0.07 | -0.26 | -0.78 | -0.66 | |||||
