Just reporting the facts here, and not making any recommendation, but tonight's home plate umpire, Joe West has the highest home team win pct for any active umpire with over 100 career games. His career 98-62 (.613) home team record (including 26-10 in 2004) places him firmly in the top spot amongst today's 80 active umpires. Anyone betting $100/game exclusively on the home team throughout West's career would have earned a tidy $2710 or an amazing $17/game. This is the highest average/game for any active umpire.
