Who gets the advantage when there is strong winds going out in baseball stadium?

Team with the weaker offense or the team with the stronger offense?

(PS Wind 20mph out at Wrigley today)

Not sure it answers your question directly but I looked at it like the better lineup vs pitcher stat. The wind is blowing out hard to right, so better for lefties and Cleveland has a righty throwing, unfortunately he has sink and keeps a lot of balls down. With the Cubs having all the big lefties that can just put it up in the air I'd take their advantage. Cleveland has a few lefties that can hit up high enough to carry though.

My luck it will be a damn 2-1 game though.

Well of course not. I was on the O and hoping for Lester and kluber to blow up after the first half or so and wasn't going to screw with live betting it. You could just tell after 6th inning exactly how it was going to play out. The only flyball hit in the game that would have been out in the LLwS was foul.

Defense cannot help against wind much. Hitters are the only one assisted by high wind out
