Park Factors

Last Updated: 1:30 AM

Temperatures will be in the 60s and 70s for all 13 outdoor games on Tuesday. The slate will generally lean in favor of pitchers with the cooler temperatures being paired with high air pressure in several cases - two factors that reduce fly ball distance.

The hitter-friendly environment at Sutter Health Park defies the rest of the slate on Tuesday. The usual (and impactful) out-blowing wind will be supplemented by low pressure this evening to make up for the cooler temperatures. The minor league venue has featured 2.87 home runs per game this season (24% higher than the MLB average) and 3.17 per game when the wind is blowing out at more than 10 mph.

The most impactful wind outside of Sacramento on Tuesday is in Cleveland where it will blow in from right at 10-12 mph for Royals / Guardians. The wind at Yankee Stadium will also be pointed in toward hitters at 9 mph this evening.

Oracle Park has been on a recent hot streak for home runs with 23 over the last 6 games, but it probably doesn't have to do with anything park or weather-related. Fly ball distance vs expected has remained consistent over this period, according to a BP model that watches for these sorts of changes. Despite the recent streak, Oracle is still allowing just 1.81 HRs/game this year (22% below league average) and the weather forecast hasn't been anything out of the ordinary for Giants home games.
