Not sure if wind blows in, out or sideways, but it will effect ball flight.

The MLB weather reports are understating the wind.....I doubt it subsides to 12-14 mph by game time. Plus it will be blowing in from center. I see many of the 7.5s disappearing by the first pitch,

This time of year - it is minimal, if that

SA winds come in from the desert and blow IN. Very strongly. A ball that would normally go half way up the Pavillion now will be lucky to make the warning track. It will most affect balls hit into Center/Right Field.

But looking at the forecast for the area around game time it looks like the winds will not be as powerful as they were last night/this morning. I woke up this morning to leaves and the like allover the place and patio furniture moved and covers blown off. When the SA wings blow I make sure to never get on the other side of a truck when on the road since the winds can blow over an 18-wheeler and if you are on the wrong side of the truck.........we know what happens

they'll still play havoc with pop-ups, especially around the plate b/c the winds/gust, if there, will swirl off the stadium behind home plate, making it very difficult

Doesn’t effect me, I don’t live in California......but I hope it hits Huntington Beach
Nicely played.

I checked 3 local weather sources and any wind will be blowing in from LF. It will create a interesting dynamic when dodger hitters swing from the heels tryingto hit Hader.

BINGO! Any ball that gets up high and especially above the stadium will be an adventure. It is no sure thing to be caught

Saw some pics of batting practice and there definitely is some wind there. The shadows are another good point.

This time of year won't be much of a factor if at all. Sun sets at 6:18 but by the time the game starts my guess is most of home plate and pitcher's mound will be in the shade. If sun is a factor it won't be for more than an inning or 2- if that.

Wind - that will definitelty be a factor

The under is getting some resistance which is a little worrisome.

Funny most of the under bets were predicated on the wind however the wind helped Arcia's dinger.
