Wind direction in Chicago?

Anyone know how the wind is blowing today. These two teams can put up some runs, and the wind can help that.

lol well that all depends on which suburb you are in.....winds are completely different in some areas....Wrigley is like a natural phenomenon when it comes to wind...Basically why totals are not posted until the day of....

Usually the best indication of what the wind will do is the total they put on a game. It's only 8.5 or 9 today. If I see a 6.5 in Chicago, I go under. If I see a 10.5 to 12, I love the over.
