Which wind direction helps scoring at Wrigley Field?

A south or southwest wind blows out to left field and is the classic "wind blowing out" setup. A north or northeast wind does the opposite, holding balls in and turning the park into a pitcher's edge.

How much does Wrigley wind move the Over/Under?

A strong out-blowing wind can turn a neutral total into a clear Over by adding carry to ordinary fly balls. An in-blowing wind from the lake does the reverse. We read the forecast at first pitch, not the daily average.

Does Wrigley Field have a roof?

No. Wrigley is fully open air, so every game is exposed to whatever wind pattern is active at first pitch.

Why Wrigley Field plays differently

The most wind-dependent park in baseball; a south or southwest wind off the streets blows out and inflates totals, while a north wind off Lake Michigan slams the park shut.
