Park Factors

<< 9/06 September 7, 2025 9/08 >>

Last Updated: 1:30 AM

The September weather is starting to creep in for most venues with cooler temperatures and high air pressure across most of the afternoon slate - two factors which reduce fly ball distance. There are exceptions though, including Tampa where it will be 88° with light wind blowing out to center. Steinbrenner Field has been a top HR venue this season due to the consistent heat and shallow RF fence, as well as the occasional out-blowing wind which tends to be impactful at the open air park.

Similar conditions are expected for Athletics / Angels where the "always out" L.A. wind will be paired with temps around 90°. The shallow CF fence at Angel Stadium is the spot for homers which will be even more friendly this afternoon with temps about 10-15° higher than the season-long average.

Coors Field will benefit from mid-80s in Denver this afternoon. The high-altitude venue is the top park for offense on Sunday and will play close to normal for Padres / Rockies.

The rest of the slate is mostly tilted in favor of pitchers with temps in the 60s and 70s and high air pressure at most parks. Wrigley Field stands out as the most pitcher-friendly on Sunday with light wind also blowing in from left field.

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