That's an objective analysis.
Do you really think it's possible to get into this tight home plate often and find a way to have a poor quality chance more often than not?

One thing that i DO think is possible is that one team can be doing a better or worse job of marking the player that has the opportunity in the home plate area,
There is getting a chance from in front, and then there is getting a wide open chance in front
