Playing well on the road is a lot of luck and because the parks are all different, isn't a good indicator of true performance levels. Home records are a good indicator of true performance. You can look at the stat I gave you, that all the division leaders and the WC contenders have winning home records-- except for one team, yours. You are in the position you are in based on luck on the road, but that luck will run out because that's how luck works. If you're going to win the WC, you need to start winning home games. It's a serious problem.

I do not accept the premise.

Teams play half of their games at home and GMs are supposed to

AND

You really can't have both sides of this. On one hand you say teams play better at home because their GM's "pick players that play well on the home field", on the other hand you denigrate a team with a good road record, calling it luck.

Didn't they beat teams that are supposed to WIN AT HOME because their GMs "pick players that play well on the home field"?

So any team with more road wins than home wins at the end of the season is a 'bad team'?
