OPACY might be a "pitchers park" with the new LF..

Rates and Barrels podcast today mentioned humidor effect taking about 10 feet off batted balls in parks where it is new in 2022.

This is the first year of OPACY humidor, right?  So, essentially, a park that used to be 333-364-410-373-318, is now playing more like 343-394-420-383-328. 

Since the hotel the park has had about a 105 park factor for runs.  I wouldn't be too surprised if LF turned that into 95-100.  My guess is that absent any mid-season changes runs will be down across the league by about 0.25/game compared to the last few years, due to the humidor.  So OPACY could be down half a run or more.
