Todd Furhman and Kenny White first focus on the total for this game, which was listed at -7.5. This is their final preview before the All Star Game.

White says the OVER/UNDER will all depend on the wind.

“There is about a 7 run difference at Wrigley Field totals,” he points out. “If you have a 20 per hour Northeast win and it is blowing straight in, I take two runs off the total I make before weather and if we have a wind straight out to center 20 to 25 mph, Southwest, I can add up to 5 runs depending on whether I have a fly ball pitcher in the game.”

So what’s the current forecast for Wrigley Field at game time 8:05 pm EDT?

Winds are only scheduled to be blowing around 10 mph from the East.

The below video preview requires Abode Flash to view.
