    I have been following this site for quite awhile now and this is BY FAR the most useful post i have read. i printed it up and use it daily. if you are betting totals ... it is basically a combination of pitchers , lineup, stadium , umpire and weather (wind direction and strength , temperature, rain , snow , humidity). this post is useful.

    If you click "detailed forecast" from weather.com here, you get the wind speed and ball park direction as well, plus now they list how a team does during the day, night, temperature and with windy conditions.

    so does this work as you would logically think it would?

    If the wind is blowing 10 MPH directly east, and you take yankee stadium which points directly east, doest that mean the batter has 10 Miles of wind directly at his back?

    Does the stadium block the wind, and cause it to swirl differently?
    Would there instead be a windstream up at a certain point in the air?

    Does the temperature/humidity have an effect on this as well?

    I can remember some stadiums maybe even in football where the flags will be blowing one way at one point of the stadium, but other flags will be blowing a different direction. I believe the actual tall structure of the stadium will give say Giants stadium swirling winds.

    Can anybody comment on how to interpret this data. Is it really as simple as everybody assumes?

    My thoughts are that each stadium is different so you can't generalize anything by any means. It's just a matter of using the information anyway you can.

    Quick general thoughts on a few stadiums, caveat: I'm sure some of my opinion are based more on team results rather than stadium design:

    San Diego - hardly ever goes over.
    Texas - look for hot and humid days for overs.
    LAD - goes over more in day than night.
    Yankee stadium - always get it back-ass backwards, have no idea.
    SF - even when wind blowing out, still hard for the total to go over.

    Think you're just thinking too much into it.... knowing that the wind is blowing in from right, or out to left, whatever the case may be is better than not knowing.

    You dont need to get into the physics of a ball during humid days to cap a card IMO.

    Think wind is most useful when applying to flyball pitchers and stadiums that are small and when you combine both wind direction is the most useful.

    bump and re sticky?

    one thing I'd like to know, I remember checking the weather channel and some stadiums orientation didn't correlate with what was listed by baseball-almanac .

    If i remember correctly, the Cards was one of them.

    Also the Nats isn't updated.

    the Cardinals moved 2 or 3 years ago, the orientation doesnt look right. I will check and report back unless there are Cardinal locals here who know. Yankee Stadium is a tough one, very difficult to find a weather advantage there. Another interesting site is ballparktour.com this is an excellent thread. thanks

    its up to date. the orientation of the ballparks are provided in the map at the bottom of the team pages so you know which way the wind is blowing.

    or you can go to weather.com
