There's a guy on Twitter named Rob Arthur talking about this and he keeps having to shoot down the weather question. It's some really good stuff.

Fangraphs just put up an article asking if MLB has made changes to the ball for the playoffs and the TLDR version is that theres not enough data to suggest there has been any change and that the average fly ball distance for the playoffs is actually further than the regular season.

I thought it was kind of funny they singled out Verlander not saying anything about noticing any difference in the balls the same way I did lol.
