It’s another classic "Wrigley Wind" day on the North Side.
Wrigley Field's projected weather report is calling for double-digit winds blowing directly out to center field during the Cubs' Thursday night game with the Athletics.
Given how strongly the wind affects Wrigley's scoring environment, we could see a higher-scoring ballgame.
Cubs vs Athletics Predictions
As you might know, betting totals at Wrigley can swing wildly depending on which way the wind is blowing, and Overs are particularly profitable when the wind is blowing out to center field.
We have an Action PRO System dedicated to tracking this exact phenomenon.
Action PRO System: Wrigley Field Overs
Since 2005, when the wind is blowing directly out, Overs at Wrigley Field are 118-76-8, a 61% win rate generating a 17% ROI.
This includes a 5-3 record this season alone.
Given these projected weather conditions, BallParkPal projects a +15% run-scoring factor behind a +34% home-run-scoring factor for today's game, increasing his projected total by 1.33 runs compared to a weather-neutral day.
