I don't know if this belongs here or not, if it doesn't I apologize ahead of time and please move it to the appropriate place.

From ESPN: Park factor:
Park Factor compares the rate of stats at home vs. the rate of stats on the road.
A rate higher than 1.000 favors the hitter. Below 1.000 favors the pitcher.
PF = ((homeRS + homeRA)/(homeG)) / ((roadRS + roadRA)/(roadG))
* Teams with home games in multiple stadiums list aggregate Park Factors.

Here's the link. It also shows all of the different park factors around baseball.
