Wrigley Field and run scoring
Sports Alerts measures how many runs score in Cubs home games compared with their road games. For 2026 the ratio is 1.07, which is hitter-friendly. The five-year weighted ratio is 0.99, which is close to neutral. A number above 1.00 means more runs score at home than on the road.
For hitters this helps you read home run and RBI alerts. A hitter-friendly park usually means more of them.
