Park Factors
Last Updated: 1:30 AM
Temperatures will tick up a bit for most venues on Sunday afternoon with 80s and 90s expected for the majority of outdoor games. The best hitting conditions are in Tampa where the wind is expected to blow out at 10-15 mph. The open-air Steinbrenner Field has been highly receptive to wind this season, and the hot Tampa weather combined with the short right field fence has made the minor league venue one of the best in MLB for home runs. There's a high chance of rain in Tampa this afternoon, so the game is flagged for possible delay.
Baltimore and Philadelphia will get their second day in a row of temps in the 80s with wind blowing out. Both parks are receptive to wind and once again rated at the top of the slate for offense. Rate Field will also benefit from out-blowing wind on Sunday (10-15 mph) but it won't be quite as warm with temps in the low 70s.
More scorching weather is expected on the West Coast with temps above 90° in both Los Angeles and Seattle. Only 3% of games at these two venues are played in weather this warm, and the usually pitcher-Friendly T-Mobile Park is rated neutral for offense this afternoon as a result. Angel Stadium is rated positive for both runs and homers with the shallow center field fence being especially vulnerable to long fly balls.

Features the exact same dimensions as Yankee Stadium. Very short to right and deeper-than-average to most of left field. Should usually be hitter-friendly, especially during the summer. At risk for lots of rainouts. | +1.04 | +0.20 | -0.11 | +1.73 | ||||||

The left-field corner is particularly deep while most of the outfield perimeter is closer than average. A 21-foot-tall fence compensates for the short distance down the right field line. | +0.23 | +0.37 | +0.56 | +1.16 | |||||

Chase Field 4:10 | -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. | -0.07 | +0.53 | +0.41 | +0.70 | ||||||||||||

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. | -0.22 | -0.18 | +0.97 | +0.01 | |||||

LoanDepot Park 1:40 | -11% | +4% | -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 | +0.14 | -0.22 | -0.39 | ||||||||||||
