It’s another classic "Wrigley Wind" day on the North Side.
The weather report for Wednesday's Cubs vs. Reds game calls for 8 MPH winds blowing cross-field toward the first base line.
Combine that with temperatures in the low-50s, and we should see a suppressed run-scoring environment on Wednesday, May 6.
Chicago Cubs vs Cincinnati Reds Predictions: Wrigley Field Wind Today
As you might know, betting Unders at Wrigley where the wind is either blowing in or cross-field is historically very profitable.
We have an Action PRO System dedicated to tracking this exact phenomenon.
Action PRO System: Wrigley Field Unders
Since 2005, when the wind is blowing either in or cross-field at Wrigley, the Under is 304-200-27, a 60.3% win rate providing a 15.7% ROI.
As written by our own Evan Abrams:
This System focuses exclusively on Cubs home games, where wind direction is a major scoring variable. When the wind blows in or across (from the sides), and the total opens between eight and 13, Unders become highly valuable. Wrigley is uniquely sensitive to weather due to its field orientation and lack of a dome, making it the premier ballpark for wind-based betting edges.
Between the wind and the temperatures, BallParkPal's weather model projects a -13% run-scoring factor for today's game, lowering his projected total by 1.11 runs compared to a weather-neutral day.
