Dodgers Stadium weather factors?

[EXTRAPOLATER]

I missed the commentators words, following Springer's dinger, which were something about the ball not flying out as well as in games 1 & 2. I'm curious if this is humidity-related or what as I certainly noticed games 1&2 having the ball seem to fly way farther than I expect in that park. Dodgers seem to have more power this year, than most, and I'm not sure if park factors are a factor or what.

I have enough trouble with the dang air density BS, especially since they started fucking around with ball storage at Coors Field. Just wondering if there is some important metric for totals at Dodgers Stadium, sorta like (or not) with the wind craziness at Wrigley that even prevents overnight totals.

I had no interest in the totals for #6, save for maybe 'stros ov2 1st5 (was +123) or astros ov4 for game (+143 or something).

This series has been surreal, so far.

They just showed Koufax...he's there, no surprise.
His legacy, via playoff success, will leave a greater mark than Kershaw's, so far, especially if Dodgers can't bring home the prize in '17.

Let me re-ask the question as simply as I can.

IE, if you see this...I'm guessing you might have some idea (air density is my guess).

What was the difference between games 1&2 VS game 6, at Dodgers Stadium,
that made the commentator mention that balls weren't flying out the same (for #6)
as in games 1&2?

Not sure what's going on with the baseballs specifically. But the weather has been a factor. Game 1 set a record for hottest world series game ever I believe. And game 2 was close behind. It has cooled off dramatically since then, about 30 degrees cooler.

I live in southern calif... nr Disneyland (30 miles so. of Chavez Ravine), weather usually the same for me (esp hot weather days) as Dodger stadium...

gms 1 & 2 were like 100 degrees at gametime (515pm)... and at the end of the game was probably still 85+ 3hrs later
balls will carry farther in warm, dry weather... saw something yday that said on a cool weather day, that if a ballis hit that will carry 400 ft, compare to a warm/hot weather day, same power hit will carry like 408 ft... doesnt seem like much, but how many balls carry to the warning track on a cool night?
On a hot night, same ball might go over the wall

yesterday, the high was in the mid-60's, cool and cloudy, and heavy air all day,
like it was going to rain (it did rain some the night before)... that's why they were making a big deal about Springer's HR, because it was "heavy, cool air"... ball does not fly as well in those conditions

today, few clouds in the sky... 68 degrees right now... sun is shining, better conditions than yesterday, but not like the Palm Springs weather we had here for gms 1 & 2

depends how the pitchers do... weather won't affect the total tonight.

If the same Darvish that pitched gm 3 shows up, expect a slugfest lol

I think Dodgers team is in a bit of a zone right now... last night was Taylor.. Joc P... Barnes..
Kenley was back to being Kenley

time tells all tales :0corn

enjoy the game!

That's cool, guys. Thanks for the replies.

Make sense on the heat, from what I know, as that will affect the heaviness of
the air or 'air density' as I believe it can be called.

I'm wondering what metric to use specifically.
Maybe game temperature is enough, for all I can tell.

I don't like shit for tonight and my only lean might be an over
(currently 7.5-103 at my Pinn-heads).

I did notice ump Mark Wegner--looking back about 6 years--has a smaller K-zone,
by the numbers, and with a slight wind out to right-center it might help any balls
of the bats of lefty sluggers (w.2 righties starting, as well).

Who knows. I'm smart just to spectate as I fluked a 3-0 on the Champions League
(Porto,Tottenham,Man City) and have a couple NHL likes.

I also noticed Wegner doesn't seem to favour home teams, by H win record
for him over the same period. Not a number I have much experience at for
incorporating money-tosses, though.

I can't back McCullers, here, but I don't think the Astros are really fearing facing
Yu, though I'd certainly say he is the much better starter.

If Giles comes in late then the 'stros better be up 2.
Astros BP might have a few more options with Maeda's recent use and
Jansen working 2 yesterday, but I expect it's all-hands on deck.

I want to see a great and wild game.
That's probably a big part of my over lean, as well.
I have zero emotional attachment to either team, though I like a
number of players on both sides.

just my thoughts
I've been following these games pretty closely.
Paradoxically, such probably makes me more ignorant on the prognostication.

Nice call on Spurs...post your football/soccer bets....
