    Wind tunnel effect in Texas..

    http://www.weather.com/outlook/event...hrly_graph_tab

    "The Texas Rangers' home park is one of the best hitting parks in MLB baseball. With the summer wind in mind, engineers designed the field 22 feet below street level and placed a 42-foot high windscreen on top of the office complex in centerfield.
    While the engineers were successful slowing the winds down somewhat in the southeast, they were unsuccessful slowing down the winds to centerfield. Winds roaring out of the concourses create a giant wind tunnel, which kills fly-ball pitchers and rewards power hitters"


    Shields vs Harrison

    Some thing I found.
    "The Rays don’t like facing Harrison, who has a 2.33 ERA and 23 strikeouts in 19 1/3 career innings against Tampa Bay. The 26-year-old lefty has a WHIP of 0.97 this season, and has held opposing batters to a .215 average. He’s averaging just over seven innings per start."

    Six of last seven Tampa Bay road games went over total.

    Shields gave up 26 HR last season.
    Harrison gave up 13 HR last season


    LETS DISCUSS! Definitely need to keep our eye on the wind direction
