Why, simply cuz the home team is guaranteed to pitch 9 innings instead of 8?
1) Pedro Astacio. He did get rocked early. 2) The games meant more to Balt than to Bost 3) It was still a close call, so Balt being the home team was a factor 4) I figured that since that was what I figured, that was what DB would figure, so he would take Balt, so I would too.
