Park Factors
Last Updated: 1:30 AM
Temperatures range from 60s to 80s on Tuesday with mostly neutral weather effects across the slate. Some of the best hitting conditions are in Tampa where it will be above 80° and humid with air pressure on the low side for Mariners / Rays. The open-air venue won't benefit from out-blowing wind, but the otherwise warm and muggy weather (along with the short porch in right) make it positive for home runs on Tuesday.
The most pitcher-friendly weather is in Boston where it will be in the 60s for Guardians / Red Sox. The run environment at Fenway is more resilient to cool temperatures than most as its penchant for runs comes more from hits in play rather than the long ball. Home runs are, however, rated negative on Tuesday in Boston as the conditions are worse for fly ball distance.
The wind won't be blowing much at all at Wrigley Field this evening, but it is pointed in toward hitters. Wrigley leans in favor of pitchers when conditions are neutral, and the cooler temps around 70° represent a slightly worse than average weather day in Chicago. The short porch in left-center is still an excellent home run target, but the deep corners more than balance out the difficulty level for homers.
Coors Field will get 80° at start time for Giants / Rockies with double-digit wind blowing in from center field. As is often the case, Coors is the clear top venue for offense on Tuesday and the in-blowing wind isn't much of a factor as the high-altitude stadium isn't that receptive.

Coors Field 8:40 | +13% | +38% | +12% | +31% | Low | 15  | 7 | 2  | 79° | 77° | 75° | 23% | 1018 | X-Large | 5,183 | +29 | Great | Avg | An extreme outlier of a stadium. Played 4,000 feet higher in altitude than the next closest MLB park. Has an extra-large outfield to accommodate much farther carry distances. Excellent for batter contact as the high altitude limits pitch effectiveness. | +0.30 | +1.31 | +1.31 | +2.74 | |||||
Target Field 7:40 | +8% | +9% | +2% | +8% | Medium | 10  | 7  | 6 | 79° | 77° | 75° | 64% | 1012 | Medium | 812 | +0 | Avg | Good | A slightly asymmetric outfield with a deeper-than-average left side. The more shallow right side is guarded by a 23-foot-tall fence with a unique balcony overhanging the field. | +0.17 | +0.30 | +0.24 | +0.74 | |||||
Chase Field 9:40 | -2% | +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. | -0.05 | +0.54 | +0.38 | +0.71 | ||||||||||||
Fenway Park 6:45 | -13% | +20% | +7% | +8% | High | 9  | 7  | 6 | 70° | 68° | 66° | 60% | 1019 | Variable | 20 | -3 | Good | Great | A one-of-a-kind shape with a deep right field and a 37-foot-tall fence guarding the extremely shallow left side. Similarly, the 18-foot-tall fence in center offsets the close distance to home plate. While the tall fences help neutralize homers, they are excellent targets for singles and doubles. | -0.30 | +0.71 | +0.71 | +0.70 | |||||
Kauffman Stadium 7:40 | -13% | +16% | +7% | +7% | High | 2  | 2  | 4  | 79° | 77° | 73° | 50% | 1017 | X-Large | 750 | +5 | Great | Good | The largest non-Coors outfield in MLB. Perfectly symmetrical with a 9-foot-tall fence rounding the perimeter. | -0.29 | +0.56 | +0.75 | +0.63 | |||||

Stadium architecture dampens the effect from wind but hot days can turn GABP into a home run paradise. | +0.22 | +0.03 | +0.19 | +0.52 | |||||
Nationals Park 6:45 | +3% | -2% | +4% | +4% | Med-High | 6 | 6 | 5 | 75° | 75° | 73° | 47% | 1018 | Medium | 25 | -2 | Great | Great | A horizontal-shaped outfield with taller-than-average fences. Shallow to center field and deep to the corners. A 16-foot wall covers most of the right-field gap, compensating for how close it is at parts. | +0.07 | -0.06 | +0.43 | +0.34 | |||||
Steinbrenner Field 7:35 | +20% | -8% | -1% | +4% | Very High | 11 | 11  | 11 | 82° | 82° | 81° | 80% | 1012 | Variable | 48 | Poor | ? | The temporary home of the Rays. 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. | +0.46 | -0.29 | -0.06 | +0.32 | ||||||
Comerica Park 6:40 | -23% | +2% | +11% | -1% | High | 8 | 8 | 8 | 79° | 77° | 73° | 34% | 1016 | Large | 596 | -3 | Avg | Avg | A challenging venue for home runs with a very deep center field. 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. | -0.51 | +0.06 | +1.12 | -0.08 | |||||
PNC Park 6:40 | -23% | +12% | +1% | -4% | Med-High | 4 | 6  | 4 | 75° | 73° | 72° | 40% | 1017 | Variable | 743 | +5 | Good | Bad | An asymmetrical venue with an extremely deep left field fence. Tall fences guard against an otherwise shallow outfield. The 21-foot-tall fence down the right field line makes a good target for extra base hits in the yard. | -0.53 | +0.43 | +0.07 | -0.32 | |||||
Busch Stadium 7:45 | -12% | -13% | +4% | -7% | Med-High | 8 | 7 | 6 | 84° | 81° | 79° | 37% | 1015 | Large | 455 | +3 | Good | Avg | A large, symmetrical outfield with deep corners and gaps. The center field fence is a few feet closer than the MLB standard. | -0.28 | -0.45 | +0.47 | -0.59 | |||||
Daikin Park 8:10 | +1% | -9% | -5% | -8% | Roof Closed | Roof Closed | Variable | 38 | 0 | Bad | Poor | A retractable-roof venue with strict rules for allowing an open roof. A one-of-a-kind shape with a particularly shallow left-field fence. Plays deep to center and short to right. | +0.02 | -0.32 | -0.57 | -0.70 | ||||||||||||

Out-blowing wind tends to correlate with warmer temperatures, and vice versa. The Corners are very deep and guarded by 16-foot-tall-fences. An extremely shallow porch in left-center makes for a cheap home run target. | -0.30 | -0.16 | 0.00 | -0.70 | |||||
Petco Park 9:40 | +1% | -8% | -7% | -8% | Low | 7 | 5 | 5 | 79° | 75° | 73° | 70% | 1012 | Medium | 13 | -2 | Avg | Avg | A medium-sized outfield with consistent weather conditions. Plays shallow to center and deeper to both sides. The San Diego marine layer can reduce carry distance, especially at night. | +0.02 | -0.29 | -0.73 | -0.73 | |||||
