What a park factor actually means
A park factor of 102 means runs are scored 2% more often here than at an average MLB park — comparing the same teams at home and on the road, so roster quality cancels out. The home run factor of 100 does the same thing for home runs only.
The two can disagree sharply, and that is the useful part. A park can suppress home runs while inflating runs, if the wall that stops fly balls also turns them into doubles. Read both numbers before deciding what a park does to a hitter.
