    Home Field Advantage - Looking for advice

    How do you incorporate Home Field Advantage into your handicapping?

    1. Use the league home Win%
    2. Use each teams home Win%
    3. Use league historical Win%
    4. Don't bother
    5. Other

    Just looking into adding a HFA portion to my handicap, wondering if it's worthwhile or the best method/stat to implement.

    Appreciate any opinions and advice

    My opinion might not be worth a hoot, but I don't think there's much of a home field advantage in baseball, overall.

    Of course some ballparks have distinct nuances....think Fenway Park in Boston.

    I look at it more from the perspective of streaks. For example, has a team been losing home openers after a road trip? Another one can be visiting teams from the far east coast going to California/West Coast for a 3-series trip.
