Park Factors

Cooler weather continues into Wednesday with most games expecting temperatures in the 70s. The warmest games are out West where Sutter Health Park and Dodger Stadium are both expecting above 80° at start time before dipping into the 70s for the later innings. Both parks will get their usual out-blowing wind pattern, which is most notable in Sacramento as the minor league venue has shown to be highly receptive to wind this season.

Yankee Stadium will get out-blowing wind this afternoon toward the short porch in right field, but the total weather effect is neutral due to the cooler temps and air pressure on the high side.

Typical San Francisco weather is expected for Cubs / Giants tonight. It will be in the high 50s at Oracle with the usual out-blowing wind forecast. Oracle Park is one of the toughest venues for homers in MLB and the "always out" forecast isn't indicative of how wind behaves on the field.

The left-field corner is particularly deep while most of the outfield perimeter is closer than average.

Straight-away center is close to home plate but extends to an extremely deep right-field gap. Cool temperatures are the norm and the ever-present out-blowing wind is neutralized by the stadium architecture.-0.48-0.21+1.33-0.14
