I'm curious if, overall, home/road records are going to be different this year.  Do the fans help their team win?

I’d guess it helps some, but I’d think things like sleeping in your own bed, not being on the road, knowing the field, and batting last, are more useful. Don’t know.

Travel is a lot less arduous this year.  No west coast swing for instance.

My guess is that there will be some difference but it'll be so small that you'll never know if it was just random noise.

It might just be that our pitchers fare better in non batters' parks. We do have some fly ball starters. Loud outs are better than 1st row squeakers.

Did they actually stay at hotels for the Nats and Phillies away games?  It isn’t a long travel and with the virus staying at home would seem to be safer.
