has to go to the Giants. When the Rockies visit them Friday night, it will only be their 10th Home game against 22 Road games. They will be coming off a 10 game Road Trip to Pittsburgh, Washington, and New York. They have another 10 gamer, in Mid August.
In June the Giants will play 16 of 22 at home and will be home for 29 of 45 between June 3rd and July 24th.
The Giants have managed to win half of their 22 road games so far, and are only 4-5 at AT&T Park.
Meanwhile, the Padres, D-Backs and Dodgers have had home cooking for the better part of the first 5 weeks, and neither team has taken advantage of it. The Dodgers are 9-9 at home, but have only 14 road games so far in which they are 6-8. Amazingly, they will continue to play more home than away--7A, 7H, 6A, 6H, 10A, 12H, 6A, 7H, 6A, 9H, 6A, 6H through August 14th, Totals: 55A, 65H. But they get their payback in the last 6.5 weeks, with two consecutive 10 game road trips, amid a 26 of 42 to finish the season on the road.
The D-Backs have now played 19 games at home and 11 on the road and are below .500. They have already had a 9 and a 10 game homestand, and they finish the season with 10 at home, and have two more 10 game home stands, one after the all-star break in July and the other on the first home stand of August. That's 49 games on 5 home stands.
Following this Sunday's game the Padres will have played 21 games at home against 13 on the Road. But they have only 19 Home games between June 12th and August 15th. They play 36 Road games in that stretch.
In all, every team will play 81 home and 81 away, but based on the performance so far, and the scheduling, it looks like other than the Rockies, the Giants have the most to gain the rest of the way.
