Does anyone know if there are any sites that post whether or not a game will be impacted by shadows? I feel like this could be helpful in many ways, especially when looking at totals.

I will look into this as it is a great question. I know during the CWS it affects teams greatly at the new parkComment -

I don't know of any site that exists specifically for shadows, occasionally you'll see a a mention at http://dailybaseballdata.com/cgi-bin/weather.pl#
There are a few stadiums notorious for shadows but then it depends on whether game is at 1pm or 4pm. Usually the older fields like Dodger stadium, Camden yards and Fenway are notorious for shadows. And even then it may just be good for 1st five or last five innings bet. The biggest factor though is looking at whether the pitcher can throw a hard braking pitch that takes advantage of shadows. Ie. guys with hard sliders or nasty change ups are more likely to have an advantage.
Let us know if you find anything else.Comment -
It is an interesting angle. I just don't see how any viable stats could be found.Comment -
I'm more looking for dates and times when shadows would likely be an issue on a sunny day.Comment
