The Away versus Home for the Red Sox was dramatic Team Away Home NYY 283/355/822 284/368/858 +36 OPS LAA 283/346/780 288/354/804 +24 OPS LAD 275/355/772 265/336/742 -30 OPS Philly 253/328/767 263/341/805 +38 OPS
Boston 257/340/753 284/365/862 +109 OPS! Colorado also had a huge delta +132 OPS So not having a home field advantage was a big deal. And the numbers proved it. The 4 teams playing now were the top 5 teams in Away Records. The Red Sox were 3 games below 500 on the road in the season. In the 9 games in the Regular Season, the Angles held the Sox to 734 OPS So the numbers gave us some insight. It doesn't mean it was a foregone conclusion... but it wasn't all that suprising (numbers wise anyway) Ray Salemi wrote: > They are mirror images. > > But good pitching will beat good hitting, the opposite is not true. > > I think one writer put the breakdown at 50% hitting. 43% pitching, 7% > defense.
