Sunday, November 1 · Rain-delay risk and HR boost at first pitch · tap a game for the 4-hour forecast
Today's MLB ballpark weather and how it shifts home run odds. Each game shows temperature, precipitation and rain-delay risk, plus wind speed and direction read against the park's orientation, so you can see which stadiums have wind blowing out and where warm air is adding carry before first pitch.
Wind blowing out toward the outfield helps fly balls carry and lifts home run odds, while wind blowing in knocks them down. A steady out-blowing wind of 10 mph or more can add several feet of carry, turning warning-track outs into home runs, especially to the pull side.
Yes. Warmer air is less dense, so a batted ball carries farther on a hot day than a cold one. Every ten degrees of extra warmth adds roughly two to three feet of fly-ball distance, which nudges borderline drives over the fence and raises home run odds across the park.
The cards above read each open-air ballpark's current wind speed and direction against the field orientation, then flag whether it helps or hurts home runs at first pitch. Domed stadiums are marked as neutral. Tap any game to see the four-hour forecast around game time.
