dunn.jpgThe Rocky Mountain air at Coors Field and a windy day at Wrigley Field usually mean higher run totals. Most bookmakers make their adjustments around these two ballparks, regardless. But what about some other parks where ballooning run totals are common? The Covers crew took some time to number crunch and came up with a list of even more stadiums bettors should look at when laying money on baseball. The Washington Nationals home at RFK Stadium has turned into a launching pad. Same goes for the Cincinnati Reds’ Great American Ballpark. The Seattle Mariners’ Safeco Field is a haven for pitchers. And the once hitter-friendly confines of Camden Yards have morphed into a pitcher’s park of late. Suspiciously absent from the list are the Philadelphia Phillies’ Citizens Bank Ballpark which has a left field shorter than some Little League parks. Just talk to the Bank’s hot dog vendors who have been conked on the head by Pat Burrell homeruns this year more so than any other season.
