Mild temperatures in the 70s are expected for all the outdoor games on Thursday, aside from Seattle where it will be around 60° for Rockies / Mariners. Fly ball distance is expected to be aided by high humidity, low air pressure, and out-blowing wind at most venues. The good hitting conditions are accompanied by a chance of rain in a handful of spots, including Philadelphia, Baltimore, Cincinnati, and New York which have been flagged for possible delay/PPD.

Smaller outfields figure to benefit most from the additional carry on Thursday as Citizens Bank and Great American Ball Park are rated especially positive for home runs. The short porch in right at Yankee Stadium and a good portion of Oriole Park fall into this category as well.

Sutter Health Park will have mild weather this afternoon for Astros / Athletics with temps in the 70s and the usual outward wind blowing at single digit speeds. The wind is still a factor as SHP has been highly receptive this season.

There won't be much wind at Wrigley this afternoon, but when it does blow it's expected to be in from left. It's expected to dip into the 60s in the later innings for Mets / Cubs.

The roof at Rogers Centre is expected to be closed this evening given a small chance of rain in the area. As always, this is unofficial.
