Home Field Disadvantage

So here's something odd: Only one American League home team won yesterday...and that took a walk-off home run. This means every AL game yesterday went into the bottom of the ninth inning. Your one AL Home Team winner? The White Sox, winning on Jim Thome's walk-off 500th career home run. Every other AL home team lost.

The National League didn't fare all that better at home, either. Milwaukee, Colorado, Houston, and San Diego are your four NL home team winners.

Add that up, and MLB home teams were 5-10 yesterday. Root, root, root for the home team? I guess not...


And no, I'm not writing about football. Why? 'Cause I didn't watch any. Take that, football!
