*MLB odds as of Friday morning

There's one early game on Friday's MLB odds board: Milwaukee Brewers vs. Chicago Cubs at 2:20 p.m. ET.

Afternoon action at Wrigley Field often means windy weather as well, and that's exactly the case for Friday's matinee.

The key questions for bettors are what direction is the wind blowing, how strong are the breezes and what exactly does that mean historically in similar situations?

Thankfully, we have the Action Network's MLB PRO betting systems to tell us exactly what we need to know.

MLB Pick for Brewers vs. Cubs

According to the latest forecast, steady 9-10 mph winds are expected throughout Friday's Brewers vs. Cubs matchup.

And as I mentioned above, the most important factor for bettors is which direction the wind is blowing.

Obviously, 9-10 mph breezes blowing straight out to center would be a boon for scoring, while winds driving toward home plate could knock down potential homeruns into long fly-ball outs.
