MLB weather has been a factor recently, with over/unders significantly impacted and games being postponed. Thank the heavens for our MLB weather tab assisting in up-to-date trends and data.
Inclement weather can hang around, which brings our attention to Wednesday’s MLB weather — and a PRO System which focuses strictly on wind. That system rolled out three Wednesday over/under picks with historic betting value.
Specifically, a trio of games — Twins vs. Cubs, Rays vs. Cardinals and Angels vs. Yankees Game 1 — are set to experience notable wind speeds that could alter gameplay. Among these matchups, one game stands out with the breeziest conditions — 12 mph winds.
Let’s dive deeper into how these wind conditions can impact betting strategies for Wednesday’s games and uncover some valuable over/under picks.
MLB Weather Preview for Wednesday: Best Over/Under Picks
Our 55% winning trend continues to pop out games with inclement weather. Wednesday’s weather conditions are perfect for employing an over/under betting strategy called the “Wind Blowing In” PRO System.
The premise banks on betting the under when the wind blows inward at 5 mph or more in an MLB game and when the over/under closes between 6-11. This system leverages how wind can stifle offenses and reduce the likelihood of high-scoring games.
Here’s how this system applies to the August 7 MLB games:

MLB Weather for Twins vs. Cubs: Wrigley Field Wind Impact
Wrigley Field is notoriously one of the most wind-influenced ballparks in baseball. On Tuesday, the total for the Cubs vs. Twins game — driven by 18 mph winds blowing in — closed at an astonishingly low six.
While Wednesday’s Wrigley Field forecast predicts slightly milder conditions with 12 mph winds blowing inward, it’s still favorable for our betting model. The impact of these inward winds is expected to hold down scoring, making the under a strong bet for Wednesday’s afternoon matchup.

PRO Systems Pick: Twins vs. Cubs Under 7
MLB Wind, Weather for Rays vs. Cardinals
Next up is the Rays vs. Cardinals game, which is set to experience 6 mph winds blowing in.
While this may be the tamest wind conditions of the three games under review today, it still fits perfectly within our “Wind Blowing In” model.
The over/under for Rays vs. Cardinals opened at 7.5.

PRO Systems Pick: Rays vs. Cardinals Under 7.5
MLB Weather, Over/Under Pick for Angels vs. Yankees Game 1
Finally, the Angels vs. Yankees Game 1 also falls under this system’s criteria.
The opener was initially postponed on Tuesday due to inclement weather. However, Wednesday’s early forecast shows 9 mph winds blowing inward at Yankee Stadium. Given that the wind speeds meet our system’s threshold, this game also qualifies as an excellent candidate for betting the under.
