On Friday May 16, I took a look at the MLB Park Factors and Coors Field was #2 on the charts with a 1.129, so I looked at the park factors today and as of yesterday (May 18) there #4 on the chart with a 1.183, They had a 3 game series against the Minnesota Twins, they lost the first game 4-2 but won the other two games, but not by much.
I'm not sure where Arizona was on the charts on Friday but today they are #1 with a 1.273. At Chase Field, if your a lefty batter this field will boost up your home run totals because Chase Field gives an 18 percent boost to their home runs and increases runs total from both sides of the plate by 12 percent.
Its said that at Chase Field its one of the more favored hitters parks in the major leagues, its ranked 5th in runs scored, 7th in total hits allowed and 11th in home runs allowed. At home the Diamondbacks are 31-9

I would never think that a baseball can do that. It really takes some time for people to figure out a baseball can do that. I wanna know how people no that or if the guy is just pitching slow. But if the pitcher is pitching slow i would think that the hitter would be able to hit the ball alot easier.
