MLB Weather Forecast for Cubs vs. Dodgers: Windy Conditions Will Impact Friday’s Game

MLB Odds: Cubs vs. Dodgers

The Chicago Cubs host the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday afternoon and, as is often the case at Wrigley Field, windy weather will likely be a factor.

The latest Cubs vs. Dodgers weather forecast is calling for strong, double-digit winds blowing throughout Friday afternoon's game and it's the direction of those winds that's key for both baseball bettors and DFS players.

With this in mind, let's break down the updated Cubs vs. Dodgers weather forecast, including how it could impact scoring today at Wrigley Field.

MLB Weather Forecast: Cubs vs. Dodgers

According to the National Weather Service, it should be dry on Friday in Chicago with high temperatures creeping above 60 degrees.

In addition, winds of 10 mph, including gusts up to 20 mph, will be blowing at Wrigley Field as well.

Sports Insights' weather data provides another key detail, showing that breezes of 11-15 mph blowing directly out to center field are expected from 2-5 p.m. ET as well.

Winds this strong can help carry balls that typically result in long, fly-ball outs over the wall for cheap home runs.

And with cheap home runs comes increased scoring, which could be the case today in Chicago.

Based on live MLB odds, the Cubs vs. Dodgers total sits at 9.5 as of the time of writing, but don't be surprised to see this line climb as more bettors become aware of Friday's weather forecast for Wrigley Field.
