Pico, it's just a tool for determining how wind might affect a particular ballgame.

Also, weather.com has a listing of all the games that when you click on it, an arrow shows on the diamond which way the wind is blowing. For example, follow this link:

Someone a week back said they had been misinformed by the weather.com listing, so that's why I stuck this info up.

How about a list that classifies whether a park is a pitcher's park or a hitter's park. Anyone got any data or a list on that?

Minute Maid is a hitter's park down the LF line and a pitcher's park to straightaway center.

Miller Park is a pitcher's park with the roof open, but its a wind tunnel for hitters with roof closed.

Philadelphia, Cincinnati, and Boston are a few of my personal favorite "OVER" parks!

Hitters parks - phils , reds , astros , rockies . Pitcher friendly parks - Nats , Padres , Marlins , Giants , As , Mariners . More or less is true , Rockies has changed but still hitters park to me .

The Ballpark That Dubya Built up in Arlington, Texas, is far more a hitter's park than Houston.

Is the key number for betting with/against wind 10 MPH?

Sorry for the tardy response, but just now seeing this post. The key is really knowing how winds react from certain directions in different parks. For instance, in old Candlestick you could have winds blowing in from left center which, on the surface sound like a good thing for pitchers. Yet those winds could swirl at home plate and be blowing out down the right field line.

I think under 10 MPH isn't going to affect most balls either way, speaking generally. Over 10 and you have to start thinking about them. If Jose Lima is on the mound, just think of the wind as blowing out at gale force
