    I can't seem to find a reliable source of information when trying to determine how certain pitchers perform in different weather situations. I've always heard that this is a very important factor during April/May because the weather is so unpredictable for a lot of regions. Any good information or details on a website that provides this info would be greatly appreciated. thanks

    Windy stadiums... know where this is a factor. I usually pass on any total in Wrigley.

    Temperature. The colder it is, the lower the total. I don't usually bother with this though - I think the effect is fairly minimal.

      When there is significant temperature drop throughout the day, say 30 degrees, that has an even greater (adverse) effect on scoring... so I've been told.

            Moon Phases are more important.

              I only worry about the wind and weather when it comes to totals. Wind is a GIGANTIC factor at some parks. Vegas does not even set a total on Wrigley games until day of so they know what the wind is doing.

                I wont even think about making a totals play until I check the farmers almanac.

                Always dig root crops and take overs on the 3rd day of Capricorn

                  The weather conditions are already built into the total, don't over analyze...

                    You pass on totals at Wrigley? I thought you were a sharp?

                    This post shocks me, Justin!

                      the last phase of capping a game for me involve checking the wind/weather, and the type of pitchers starting (ground-ball/flyball ect) along with the umps information and finish with the available bull-pens
