    Line moving the other way. Pinny O7.5+100. I'm dumbfounded.

    I use wunderground (weather underground). Very reliable in my experience....predicting 16-20 MPH SSW winds. Straight out...Also cleanuphitter.com uses national weather service and they are predicting 20-30 MPH SSW winds. Sounds like d2 might be right....I'd say wind of this strength is worth at least a run, probably more.

    I don't see how it's only a run. Wind didn't blow out like this much this season, but in past seasons it was not unusual to see 13 totals on days like this. Now this is the playoffs and the pitchers are better, but still. These winds are usually worth a good 2-3 runs and can easily be more.

    If you want to see what a Wrigley wind-aided HR can look like, check out this popup Bryce Harper hit off Kyle Hendricks.

    And BTW, Tomlin had the 4th highest HR/FB ratio this year. He's a dead flyball pitcher. This is like his worst nightmare.

    D2 I'd say you have a realistic shot at a push now in our bet.

    We'll see. Need another push higher. The 7.5 opener the day before was batshit crazy. Kudos to everyone who nailed it. Still say 9.0 would also be too low.

    Sure did seem easy but like you said wind doesn't matter when sinkerballers are on point.

    The winds have shifted and are blowing in tonight.

    Watch them hit massive blasts tonight. Or long flyballs that get knocked down, but would have sailed out yesterday.

    Word is there were zero HR's hit today in BP.
