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.
