Park Factors

Friday's slate features mild weather in the 70s and 80s across all 12 outdoor games. Mostly neutral conditions are expected, aside from Steinbrenner Field where it will be in the mid 80s with 10 mph wind blowing out to center. Fly ball distance has tracked closely with wind direction at the minor league venue this season, which has been a top park for home runs when it's blowing out.

It's going to be hotter than usual in Los Angeles this evening for Cubs / Angels. The wind isn't notable as the same out-blowing pattern is there for every Angels home game. But the low pressure and higher-than-normal temps give the venue a boost on Friday. It's rated positive for home runs, particularly for fly balls hit toward the shallow center field fence.

The games in Tampa and Atlanta are flagged for possible delay with a chance of rain close to start time.
