Quick glance but I'd say because so many balls will exit the field and not be in play? 19% bump in HR that includes a 37% bump for LHB. While Fenway reduces HR 25% and 33% for LHB. The Fenway balls have a big CF to RF area to roll around in. Baker has a much smaller outfield that includes a short porch in RF, but a similar sized LF (that isn't large in either park).
No idea what the real stats were for Baker Bowl, but the factors look reasonable to me. If this is Silvam's I believe he has said that he used OOTP's park factor generator to set his historic ballpark factors.
