Mild temperatures are expected across the slate on Saturday with 10 of 13 outdoor games in the 70s. It will be in the 80s in both Cincinnati and Tampa, and in the 60s in Kansas City.

It's a slightly below average hitting day at Coors Field with cooler temps around 70° this evening. The high-altitude venue is still the best run environment on Saturday by a wide margin.

High humidity in the Midwest this evening - a positive factor that counteracts the effect of lower temperatures. This is particularly the case for Kauffman Stadium, Rate Field, and Busch Stadium tonight.

The wind is blowing in for Rays / Red Sox this evening, which has been the typical pattern in Tampa lately. Steinbrenner Field is highly receptive to wind, which dampens its home run appeal. But the short porch in RF remains one of the top spots in the league for home runs, especially when it's as warm as it is this evening (mid 80s).

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