Right now, I’m fixated on how major league teams do on the road. Mostly, I’m sure, because for the first half, the Cubs were having a hard time doing that. I will give them credit though. They’ve managed to play themselves up to four under .500 which ain’t great but is a helluva lot better than they were (thanks, Brew Crew!).
Right now, there are five teams who have a better record as visitors than they do in front of their friendly crowds at home. The Angels actually have the best record in all of MLB as visitors with a pretty dang amazing .664 winning percentage.

But it’s the San Fran Giants who have the largest difference between the two. Though their visitor record of .464 is really nothing to write home about, it’s a whole lot better than their home record of 20-34 (.370), a .094 difference best in the majors.
