Kevin's note for Wednesday, June 17
Winds are absolutely ripping on a hot day in Omaha for both games. We have seen significant increases in runs and home runs in similar weather games. Granted, this is a limited sample size because I'm only pulling from other CWS games at Omaha, and the data (especially on HR's) doesn't go back very far, but the trend is obvious and it makes sense to see big increases with this kind of weather.
