A wide variety of weather is in store for Sunday with temperatures ranging from 60° to 90°. The top-rated stadium for offense is Sutter Health Park where it's expected to touch 90° in the later innings. Although the wind is still pointed out in Sacramento, it won't blow quite as hard this afternoon as it usually does. The positive rating on Sunday comes from the warm temperatures and low air pressure - both of which are good for fly ball distance.

The Mid-Atlantic duo of Nationals Park and Citizens Bank will also benefit from 85-90° temps this afternoon with minimal wind impact. The same goes for Atlanta which is expecting 88° at start time for Astros / Braves.

The most impactful wind on Sunday is in Cleveland and Chicago. Both venues are receptive to wind, but the 7 mph at Wrigley figures to be more impactful than the 10 mph at Progressive. Temps will be in the 70s at both parks.

The normal hit-friendly Fenway Park will be muted by temps in the 60s this evening, as will both Seattle and San Francisco this afternoon. As a reminder, the wind forecast at Oracle isn't indicative of how it behaves on the field.

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.-0.32+0.26+1.00+0.35

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.-0.33+0.06+1.28+0.33

+7%-10%-5%-5%Low 4  5  4 81°82°84°65%1017Medium54 -1PoorPoorAn 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.+0.15-0.36-0.55-0.42
+2%-10%-3%-5%Low 9  9  9 75°75°75°66%1010Medium13 -2AvgAvgA 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.+0.05-0.34-0.32-0.48

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.-0.39-0.19-0.31-1.09
