Since the 1990s, this stadium has become rare in MLB (it is the only one among the current National League home stadiums). Both the outfield and foul grounds are relatively large, and it has been said from the beginning that pitchers have an advantage. Although this tendency has weakened somewhat since the renovation work, it still favors pitchers. During day games, the dry air and warmth unique to Los Angeles combine to make the ball fly a little further than night games (this tendency also applies to other stadiums). Conversely, during night games, the temperature difference from the daytime is so great that there are days when fog hangs in, and the humid air slows down the ball's speed. In addition, the headwind blowing from the center field direction often pushes back the ball, making it difficult to hit home runs. (From Wikipedia)
