8:05 PM EST. We’re committed to playing one baseball total daily for the remainder of the year and if it works out, we’ll start posting more. We’re studying weather conditions and how it affects the flight of the baseball. The effects of humidity on air density is very slight and is actually opposite what it is commonly purported to be. The common reputation of humidity is that it is heavy; however, this is a misnomer. Humidity is actually light for a projectile to fly through, because there is more hydrogen in humid air than in dry air, which contains a larger percentage of nitrogen. And, of course, nitrogen is heavier than hydrogen. 

There is a scale that takes into account humidity, as well as temperature and elevation-related barometric pressure that gives us an Air Density Index reading at every ball park or zip code and the reading today at Globe Life Park is 57.00. Keep in mind that Coors Field is generally in the low 50’s while almost all other parks are between 60 and 80. Also keep in mind that low Air Density Index means high scoring and a high reading means low scoring. This is a low reading. The last time the Rangers played here, the Air Density Index was 70.16. The final score was 14-3. Today that Air Density Index, which takes into consideration, elevation, humidity, current temperature and barometric pressure is 57.00. We also have one extremely weak pitcher in Nick Martinez going for the Rangers and a hittable pitcher in Tyler Skaggs going for the Angels. 

Our research today says there is going to be a whole lot of scoring tonight across the board but please keep in mind that we’re still experimenting with these readings when applying them to baseball totals. We’re fine tuning as we go along but we’ve put in the work and have a clear understanding of how this all works. This looks like the best total of the day with the Red Sox and Dodgers games a close second, also to go over the totals based solely on favorable weather conditions. Our bet here is over 9½.
