Who's Contributing The Most To The H/A Splits?

The splits are ugly.  Everyone's heard about that.

Using home/road splits for sOPS+, we can see who's contributing the most to the difference:

 

 

Star-divide

What is sOPS+?

OPS you more than likely are familiar with.

OPS+ is normalized, so an OPS+ of 100 is average, over 100 for batters is better than average and vice versa. (For pitchers, it's reversed)

sOPS+ is how a performance is compared to the league average for a particular split.

 

 

The sample sizes range from small to very small, so this is not evidence that player A and B should be platooned home/away or Madson should close at home / Lidge on the road. Just some stuff i found interesting.

 

 

Here are our regulars, in decreasing order of the % difference in sOPS+ from Away to Home. For clarity, a positive percentage is better on the road than home, and a negative is better at home than on the road.

 

Player Home sOPS+ Away sOPS+ % Diff sOPS+
Jayson Werth 90 142 36.62%
Chase Utley 136 191 28.80%
Ryan Howard 115 153 24.84%
Shane Victorino 103 135 23.70%
Jimmy Rollins 56 68 17.65%
Raul Ibanez 164 174 5.75%
Pedro Feliz 99 105 5.71%
Carlos Ruiz 140 97 -30.71%

 

 

 

And here is our pitching staff, sorted in the same way, also with home and away BABIP:
