It will be in the 70s and 80s for all 11 games played outdoors on Saturday. Out-blowing wind is a theme at the top of the slate with Baltimore, Philadelphia, and Chicago each expecting 10+ mph blowing out. All three venues are receptive to wind, and the small outfields at Citizens Bank and Rate Field, in particular, will be more vulnerable to long fly balls.

The normally pitcher-friendly T-Mobile Park will play close to neutral this evening with an unusually high 86° expected in Seattle. Warmer temps are good for fly ball distance which is usually suppressed at T-Mobile by the colder weather. Lower air pressure is also expected in Seattle tonight, which gives an additional boost to the run environment.

Unusually high temps are also expected in Los Angeles where it will be in the mid-80s at start time for Cubs / Angels. The wind isn't notable as the same out-blowing pattern exists for all Angels home games. But the combo of hot weather and low pressure is better for offense on Saturday.

The entire left side is deeper than average and the 15-foot-tall fence in right further complicates things for hitters.
