The results of baseball games are often affected by the style of the home plate umpire. Some umpires have larger strike zones which favor the pitcher, thus reducing the number of walks and hits in a game and creating lower score totals. In addition, some umpires are often considered "homers". i.e. The home team tends to win a majority of the games they ump.
