how does home court advantage work
In: 153
In addition to other things mentioned (familiarity of home court, fan support, less travel, referee/umpire bias), in baseball specifically, there’s also an inherent advantage of batting second as the home team gets to do: in the ninth or extra innings, if behind, you know how many runs you need, so you can often shift your strategy to play for that many runs rather than having to try to score as many runs as possible.
Also, in some stadiums, the home team’s amenities are nicer.
