Home Field Advantage

Some players just love the fact that they're playing in their own backyard. They have their friends and families with them, crowd cheering for you... and not against you. There are many benefits that come with playing at home. But does playing at home really change the whole stature of a player? Let's play with some numbers.
Randy Wolf
the Wolf Pack
@ Home: 4 W 1 L 2.45 ERA 1.00 WHIP 8.59 K/9
-Very Very good numbers. Matter of fact, these are CY Young like numbers.
On the Road: 1 W 3 L 5.31 ERA 1.48 WHIP 7.30 K/9
-ehh not so good of numbers anymore. You see where I'm going with this...
Lets look at some other similar players.
Matt Garza
or the real Matty Ice as I like to call him

On the Road: 1 W 3 L 6.25 ERA 1.55 WHIP 3.98 K/9
Dustin McGowan

This kids good everywhere... but i just found these numbers to be Cliff Lee in April like, so the mention seemed necessary.
@ Home: 4W 0 L 0.35 ERA 0.81 WHIP 8.65 K/9
Don't worry his numbers on the road are just fine.
Erik Bedard
@ Home: 3 W 2 L 2.30 ERA 1.21 WHIP 8.58 K/9

Seattle may have the worst record in Baseball,
But Erik Bedard loves pitching at home.

Are Hitters the same way?
