That is why Wrigley is the only stadium where totals aren't posted until late. In other words, outside of Chicago, wind is overrated as a capping tool. I am not saying it is totally useless, as even getting a half-run edge by betting either overnight or very early morning on windy days at other stadiums is still huge, but after the books adjust, usually early in the day, then wind becomes meaningless.
