Chavez Ravine domination

Phil Gurnee ♦ August 16, 2017 ♦ 1 Comment

If you have been going to the Ravine to watch the Dodgers since Cody Bellinger joined the team the odds have been in your favor that you will have watched another Dodger home victory.  Overall the Dodgers are fifty games over .500 with a winning percentage of .712 which is insane, but at home they take that up a notch with a record of 50 – 14 for a home winning percentage of .781.

Dodger fans in Los Angeles are witnessing something no other Los Angeles fans have ever seen, and this franchise has five World Championships since moving to Los Angeles.

When you look at the offensive splits, it is very clear why the team wins at home.

• They have two full time players with an OPS over 1.000
• They have five players with an OPS over .900 including both catchers
• The only regular who does not have an OPS over .800 is Logan Forsythe.

Let’s compare that to the road splits:

Geezus, the top of the lineup is filled with hitting monsters.  Very little difference really in the big four plus Puig. Logan hits better on the road, while Grandal/Joc/Chase have struggled on the road.
