Cubs Cards total 13???

Anybody know why so high? Wind blowing in from left at 10 mph wouldn't seem to lend itself to overs...

Yeah Glendon Rusch pitching for cubs my 8 year old daughter could get a hit off him.

According to this weather report, wind blowing directly out to center at 23mph. Also warm and humid according to another report I saw. Should be a great hitters day.

I got my wind conditions info from covers. I don't know a thing about Wrigley and how the stadium is oriented, but according to covers, if the wind is coming from the southwest, then it's in from center. Obviously that doesn't jibe with a 13 total, so somebody is wrong...

 

[Big Daddy]

Home plate to the left field foul poll is straight north. Home plate to the right field foul pole is straight east. Therefore, a wind from the southwest would be blowing out to center.

Thanks Big Daddy...I just checked out a map of Wrigley & it looks like Covers wind info tells you the direction the wind is blowing towards, not from.
