weather in detroit bad

[wolfalicious]

hey im trying to figure out how weather effects baseball. the wind is blowing out 15mph, but it is going to be about 40 for the game...... any opinion?

[BettorsChat]

Could be an over especially if its blowing out at 40mph

[wolfalicious]

40 degrees

[BettorsChat]

40 degrees

Other way then

Cold and wind at 15 MPH I would lean towards an under

[moondog22]

the weather channel has the wind direction blowing from 1st to 3rd at 11 mph

HUMIDITY is the key factor for base ball travel, along with the wind....

You have cold air= resistance to travel==heavy ball

40 degrees at game time, so if the Humidity is any where above 51 percent----then the ball will have further resistance---heavy air, and travel less...........

Cross winds from 1st to 3rd, or from 3rd to 1st, at 11 miles an hour would not have any significant change on pitching from 60' and 6" away........If wind was behind, or in front of the pitch, would alter it a hair more........

A projectile from that distance, and small circumference, at a high rate of speed, 70MPH or greater, from just 60' 6" is hardly detectable.......

Should have taken my own advice and played the under
