Next up is a 3-game series at Phoenix against the 2nd place Speed Devils. There is still plenty of season left but at this point it is starting to look like a 2-team race in the MGL and this series could make that race quite a bit closer or could give the Brewers a bit of breathing space. I think I'll wait until tomorrow to start this one as it is making me a bit nervous.

So, back to the earlier discussion about ballpark factors. Here is what Brewers Field factors look like.
And here are some of the hitting splits for 1969 for Ruben Souffront and Antonio Puente.
Souffront, as you can see, has a slash line of .352/.365/.475 on the road and .262/.306/.415 at home.
On the other hand, Puente has a decent slash line of .279/.431/..493 at home but a very poor .205/.354/.313 on the road.

Another right-handed batter on the Brewers having a good season is thirdbaseman Jared Stephenson. Again, quite extreme splits favoring his road stats in terms of batting average and OBP, though Stephenson has hit far more of his HR's at home and therefore his OPS is nearly even between home and road.
