Long Ball Advantage

The Braves beat the Diamondbacks 6-2 Sunday afternoon, Atlanta hitters delivering three home runs to none for Arizona. That’s been typical of game at Turner Field this season. In 39 games at home this season, the Braves hit 50 homers and allowed 27. In 43 games on the road, Atlanta hit 52 homers and allowed 42. That goes a long way to making the team 28-11 at home and just 20-23 away. The Braves did a good job of gathering hitters who can take advantage of the park and pitchers who prevent homers at home.
