Park Factors
Last Updated: 1:30 AM
The weather is getting cooler at most parks on Monday with 8 of 11 outdoor games expecting temps in the 60s and 70s. The slate is tilting in favor of pitchers with the main exception of Sutter Health Park. It will be 90° to start with for Tigers / Athletics before dipping about 10° over the course of the game. The usual, and impactful, out-blowing wind will start above 10 mph before dying down in the later innings. Overall, the stadium/weather combo is good for about +1.5 runs and +0.7 homers vs the MLB average.
The Bronx will get some out-blowing wind of its own tonight with 12 mph pointed out toward the short porch in right. Yankee Stadium is moderately receptive to wind and will be more friendly to homers on Monday with the high 70s and low air pressure also helping with fly ball distance.
The run environment at T-Mobile Park continues to be propped up by higher-than-normal temperatures in Seattle. It will be another evening in the 80s where the usually pitcher-friendly venue will play close to neutral for Padres / Mariners.
The wind is blowing out in Chicago for Royals / White Sox on Monday, but the effect is counteracted by the lower temperatures and higher pressure. Cooler temps are also expected in Milwaukee and Cleveland, the latter of which is flagged for possible delay/PPD due to rain.

Features a spacious outfield with a tiny right-field fence. Standard to the corners and center, bowed outward in the gaps. | +0.70 | +0.23 | +0.62 | +1.70 | ||||||
Oriole Park 6:35 | -3% | -7% | +12% | +5% | Med-High | 11  | 11  | 7 | 79° | 77° | 77° | 37% | 1012 | Variable | 130 | -1 | Great | Good | A uniquely-shaped field with a home-run-friendly right side. 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. | -0.06 | -0.26 | +1.26 | +0.47 | |||||
Dodger Stadium 10:10 | +17% | -1% | -2% | +5% | Consistent | 9  | 7 | 5  | 79° | 77° | 75° | 63% | 1011 | 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. | +0.39 | -0.05 | -0.22 | +0.42 | |||||
Rogers Centre 7:07 | +4% | +7% | -7% | -1% | Minimal | 15  | 13 | 11 | 66° | 66° | 64° | 47% | 1013 | 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. | +0.09 | +0.23 | -0.74 | -0.07 | |||||
Progressive Field 6:40 | +2% | -4% | 0% | -1% | High | 11 | 11 | 11 | 68° | 68° | 68° | 61% | 1015 | 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. | +0.05 | -0.13 | -0.04 | -0.08 | |||||

The short porch is balanced out by a larger-than-average left field, though still very short to the foul pole on that side. | +0.59 | -0.82 | -0.38 | -0.11 | |||||
Rate Field 7:40 | +12% | -15% | -1% | -2% | Med-High | 12 | 12 | 10 | 68° | 66° | 66° | 52% | 1018 | Small | 596 | -3 | Bad | Avg | The smallest outfield in MLB. Shallow in every direction. Not nearly as wind-prone as its Wrigley neighbor, but can be susceptible to homers - especially on hot days. | +0.27 | -0.53 | -0.09 | -0.18 | |||||
T-Mobile Park 9:40 | +4% | -10% | -2% | -3% | Medium | 6 | 4 | 4 | 84° | 81° | 79° | 43% | 1012 | Small | 10 | -6 | Poor | Bad | One of the smallest outfields in MLB, justified by cooler weather and short carry distances. Strikeouts are boosted by low altitude and a tricky batters eye. | +0.09 | -0.36 | -0.18 | -0.25 | |||||
LoanDepot Park 6:40 | -10% | +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. | -0.23 | +0.15 | -0.22 | -0.34 | ||||||||||||
Globe Life Field 8:05 | -3% | -10% | -3% | -7% | Roof Closed | Roof Closed | Medium | 616 | +8 | Avg | Great | A retractable roof venue with a zig-zag outfield. The left side is particularly deep while the right is better primed for homers. | -0.07 | -0.35 | -0.29 | -0.63 | ||||||||||||
Citi Field 7:10 | +5% | -22% | -1% | -7% | Low | 13  | 11 | 10 | 79° | 79° | 77° | 37% | 1010 | 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. | +0.12 | -0.76 | -0.10 | -0.66 | |||||
American Family Fld 7:40 | +14% | -9% | -12% | -8% | Low | 9 | 7 | 7 | 70° | 64° | 63° | 51% | 1018 | Medium | 593 | +3 | Poor | Good | A retractable-roof venue with a zig-zag outfield. Deep to each side but shallow in the gaps and to center field. The horizontal shape reduces the number of hits that fall into play. | +0.32 | -0.32 | -1.29 | -0.66 | |||||
