How Busch Stadium Affects Picks
The model multiplies our predicted total by a blended park factor (70% flat run factor + 30% HR-by-batter-handedness). At Busch Stadium, the home team's lineup composition matters: a heavy LHB lineup at Yankee Stadium gets the 1.22x LHB HR factor; a RHB-heavy lineup at Fenway gets the 1.18x RHB HR factor. Weather then layers on: warm + humid + wind-out = more runs; cold + dry + wind-in = fewer.
