2017 Astros postseason
home OPS .862
road OPS .632

Pretty big difference. You'd expect home to be a little better, but .775 home to .725 away would be more realistic.

I just can't figure out why they were so bad at home offensively (relatively speaking) during the regular season vs. away. Maybe they didn't use the system enough to make a difference, and then went full-tilt in the postseason?

2 out of 3 teams they played in the postseason were in the northeast at parks designed for LH hitters while the Astros played their home games in a RH friendly park in room temperature. The regular season stats, both in aggregate, and on a case by case basis for players, pretty much negate any argument that there was a realized, meaningful advantage.
