Friday marks the Major League debut of Steinbrenner Field - the temporary home of the Tampa Bay Rays. The venue is the Spring Training home of the Yankees and is laid out in the same exact shape as Yankee Stadium. While there should be some very good hitting days ahead, its expected to lean in favor of pitchers on Friday with 15mph wind blowing IN from right field. Chilly temps expected in the four other outdoor games and the warmer Chase Field tops the slate again for hitter-friendliness.

-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.
-11%-1%0%-5%Low 22  22  22 73°73°73°69%1023Large15+0GoodBadA retractable-roof field that is normally enclosed. The tall fences and large outfield promote doubles while suppressing home runs.

Very short to right and deeper-than-average to most of left field. Should usually be hitter-friendly, especially during the summer. At risk for lots of rainouts.
