There's No Place like
Home
Ramon Martinez, Hideo Nomo, Chan Ho Park and Ismael Valdes
all have lower career ERAs at Dodger Stadium than they do
on the road. Since 1975, 15 Dodgers pitchers—including
Martinez and Valdes—have accumulated at least 300 innings
in both home and road
games; all but one of those 15 had a lower ERA at Chavez
Ravine than on the road. The ERA breakdown for that group
is 2.93 at home and 3.54 on the road. The exception: Burt
Hooton, who was 3.25 at Dodger Stadium and 3.02 on the
road.
