Park Factors
Last Updated: 12:23 PM
Better hitting weather is expected for the duo of Midwest games on Thursday with the in-blowing wind from the previous two days expected to die down. Both Wrigley and Progressive Field will play only slightly more pitcher-friendly than their year-long standard with temps in the mid-70s, low pressure and light wind blowing in from right field.
Cool temps in the low 60s will pair with high air pressure in The Bronx this evening - two factors that are worse for fly ball distance. Yankee Stadium is expected to favor pitchers for both runs and homers tonight.

Wrigley Field 5:08 | -4% | +2% | -4% | -4% | Extreme | 4  | 5 | 5 | 79° | 79° | 75° | 57% | 1001 | Medium | 596 | -2 | Poor | Bad | The most wind-receptive venue in baseball (by a lot). Out-blowing wind tends to correlate with warmer temperatures, and vice versa. 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. | -0.10 | +0.07 | -0.43 | -0.35 | |||||
Progressive Field 3:08 | -6% | -6% | +1% | -4% | High | 4  | 4 | 6  | 82° | 82° | 82° | 30% | 1003 | Small | 582 | -5 | Avg | Poor | A small outfield with two distinct halves. A 19-foot fence guards most of the outfield's left side while the shorter right-field fence leaves that half vulnerable to home runs. | -0.12 | -0.20 | +0.07 | -0.36 | |||||
Yankee Stadium 8:08 | -13% | -20% | -1% | -14% | High | 7  | 7 | 6 | 59° | 57° | 55° | 54% | 1029 | Variable | 54 | -6 | Avg | Great | A rounded asymmetrical outfield with a very shallow right field wall. The short porch is balanced out by a larger-than-average left field, though still very short to the foul pole on that side. | -0.30 | -0.69 | -0.11 | -1.23 |
