Cubs Home/Road

[Lefty]

The last two seasons, 1.65 to be exact, the Cubs have the same record on the road as at home. Given that the average home advantage is about seven games, the inability to 'hold serve' at home cost us the Wild Card last year and has us further back than we should be this year (we are the only team in the WC mix over .500 on the road). Why is that? What about our team construction makes this happen? Is it strictly low-OBP when the wind is blowing in? Can we blame this on Dusty too?

I have noticed that this year's Cubs seem to play better in the big ball parks - LA, Miami, San Diego, and struggle a little more in the small parks.

 

I am not sure if it is coincidence, and I have done no research on it, that is just my recollection.
