It’s another classic "Wrigley Wind" day on the North Side.
The weather report is calling for 8 MPH blowing in directly from center field for today's Cubs vs Giants game at Wrigley Field at 2:20 PM ET on MLB.TV (Saturday, June 6).
Given how strongly the wind affects Wrigley's scoring environment, we could see a lower-scoring ballgame.

As you might know, betting totals at Wrigley can swing wildly depending on which way the wind is blowing, and Unders 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 Unders
Since 2005, Unders are 304-203-27 at Wrigley Field when the wind is blowing in toward home plate or across the field, a 60% win rate generating a 15% ROI.
As our own Evan Abrams writes:
Focuses exclusively on Cubs home games, where wind direction is a major scoring variable. When wind blows in or across (from the sides), and total opens between 8 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.
Given the projected weather conditions, BallParkPal projects a -16% run-scoring factor behind a -12% home-run factor, lowering his projected total by 1.41 runs compared to a weather-neutral day.
