Welcome to Opening Day! It will be a brisk start to the season with most outdoor games expecting temps in the 50s. Chase Field is the outlier where the Cubs and Diamondbacks will enjoy 85 degree weather (if the roof is left open). Despite the cold temperatures, Kansas City and Cincinnati are expected to play close to neutral for runs - with the help of some out-blowing wind and hitter-friendly field sizes. Closed roofs are expected, though not confirmed, in Texas, Miami, Toronto, and Houston.

Description
-7%+12%+9%+8%Medium 12  12  11 86°84°82°12%1007Large1,082+11GreatGoodThe highest MLB altitude outside of Coors. Large outfield to accommodate longer carry distance on fly balls. Massive 25-foot center field fence.
-10%+10%+12%+7%High 16  17  17 61°63°64°85%1014X-Large750+5GreatAvgThe largest non-Coors outfield in MLB. Perfectly symmetrical with a 9-foot-tall fence rounding the perimeter.
+4%-10%-3%-4%Roof ClosedRoof ClosedMedium616+8AvgBadA retractable roof venue with a zig-zag outfield. The left side is particularly deep while the right is better primed for homers.
+4%-11%-6%-4%Low 9  9  7 55°54°54°60%1024Small683+0PoorAvgThe smallest outfield in MLB, offset partially by a taller left-field wall. Stadium architecture dampens the effect from wind but hot days can turn GABP into a home run paradise.
-13%+4%-2%-4%Roof ClosedRoof ClosedLarge15+0GoodBadA retractable-roof field that is normally enclosed. The tall fences and large outfield promote doubles while suppressing home runs.
+5%-9%-7%-5%Medium 14  16  17 52°52°50°71%1003Small10 -6PoorAvgOne of the smallest outfields in MLB, justified by cooler weather and short carry distances. Strikeouts are boosted by low altitude and a tricky batters eye.
-1%+3%-6%-5%Roof ClosedRoof ClosedMedium247+0GoodAvgA neutral-sized retractable roof venue where every opportunity is taken to play outdoors. A closed roof is well-received by hitters on cold Toronto days but can favor pitchers when its hot out.
-6%-19%+5%-6%Med-High 4  6  7 52°50°50°59%1022Small596 -3PoorAvgThe smallest outfield in MLB. Shallow in every direction. Not nearly as wind-prone as its Wrigley neighbor, but can be susceptible to homers - especially on hot days.
+1%-9%-5%-7%Roof ClosedRoof ClosedVariable38 0BadPoorA retractable-roof venue with strict rules for allowing an open roof. A one-of-a-kind shape with a particularly shallow left-field fence. Plays deep to center and short to right.

-10%-10%-6%-11%Low 9  11  10 59°59°59°77%1020Medium13 -2AvgAvgA medium-sized outfield with consistent weather conditions. Plays shallow to center and deeper to both sides. The San Diego marine layer can reduce carry distance, especially at night.
-27%+3%+2%-11%Med-High 11  11  12 50°50°52°93%1020Large455+3GoodAvgA large, symmetrical outfield with deep corners and gaps. The center field fence is a few feet closer than the MLB standard.
-18%-17%-2%-14%High 11  14  14 46°46°46°37%1020Variable54 -6AvgGreatA rounded asymmetrical outfield with a very shallow right field wall. The short porch is balanced out by a larger-than-average left field, though still very short to the foul pole on that side.
