We've got another Wrigley Wind report for the North Side.
For the first time in a few days, the wind is blowing out toward right-center field for today's Cubs vs Reds game.
Winds are expected to be moderate for most of the game (5-7 MPH), though they may pick up over the final hour or so (up to 12 MPH).
Wrigley Field Wind Predictions: Cubs vs Reds
Given that Wrigley is MLB's most wind-receptive park, it's been historically profitable to bet the Over when the wind is blowing outward. Since 2005, the Over is 296-239-18 (55% win, +7.3% ROI) when the wind is blowing out to center, right, or left field at Wrigley.
Unfortunately, that edge might be negated by today's expected high 50s temperatures, which should dampen potential ball flights.
As a result, our own Sean Zerillo bet the Under 8.5 for this game, which features a solid starting pitching matchup between Rhett Lowder and Shota Imanaga.
