Park Flip
Matt Holliday singled in the winning run in the 11th inning last night at Coors, giving the Rockies a 3-2 victory over the San Diego Padres.
Park Indexes give us a measure of how much different stadiums help or hurt various statistics. It's basically the playing time adjusted ratio of home/road numbers. A score of 100 indicated a neutral park. A score below 100 indicates a park that hurts the stat, above 100 helps.
Right now, the Coors run index is 78.1, fourth lowest in the majors, while PETCO sits at 135.1, fourth highest. These two parks are usually at the opposite ends of runs scored, with Coors extremely high and PETCO extremely low. It continues to be a strange offensive year.

The magic of small sample sizes. I'd lay pretty good odds on those park effects reversing themselves by the all-star break.
