Pitches Per Plate Appearance -- Home vs. Road

So, we all know about how the Braves have struggled on the road, while striving at home. A couple days ago, I posted a note on how the Braves aren't seeing any less pitches when they drop games -- in fact, they are seeing more -- but how do those numbers look when divided between their home and road splits?

Let's take a look...

Road (27 games): 3.65 pitches/plate appearance
Home (29 games): 3.77 pitches/plate appearance

Alright, so, now we're getting somewhere.

Let's take it a step further and look at the won/loss splits for each of those...

Road Wins (7 games): 3.47 pitches/plate appearance
Road Losses (20 games): 3.73 pitches/plate appearance

Home Wins (22 games): 3.79 pitches/plate appearance
Home Losses (7 games): 3.72 pitches/plate appearance

Well, I guess based on that, there really isn't much that can be drawn from all this.
