Windy weather forecasts are already a big theme across Sunday’s slate of MLB matchups.
Wind is important for bettors, no matter the direction, as breezes blowing out to center will help long fly balls carry over the wall, while the opposite will knock down well-hit shots and bring them back into play as outs.
Because this is an easily digestible concept for most bettors, the key is quickly identifying windy MLB games and getting down before the rest of the market catches up.
And that’s exactly what’s happening in Sunday afternoon’s Royals vs. White Sox matchup.

PRO Systems
As mentioned in the introduction, Sunday’s Chicago weather forecast is playing a big part in Royals vs. White Sox betting trends.
The latest forecast is calling for steady winds of 7 mph blowing in from center field at Guaranteed Rate Field, which could very much impact scoring this afternoon.
According to The Action Network’s Weather: Wind Blowing In PRO Betting System, MLB games fitting today’s weather criteria have gone under the closing total 55% of the time since the start of the 2005 season.
In fact, windy unders are 26-17-2 (60.5%) at this stadium over that span, as well.
