MLB's home run barrage amid hot World Series spurs debate over juiced balls

in sports •  7 years ago 


The 2017 Major League Baseball regular season saw a new record for total home runs, and the home run blitz has continued during the World Series.
MLB teams combined to hit 6,105 homers this season, easily surpassing the previous record of 5,963 from 2000, according to the Associated Press.
Through two games of the Fall Classic, the Los Angeles Dodgers and Houston Astros have combined to belt 11 balls out of the park. Game 2 saw the teams swat eight long balls, a new record for a World Series game.
Both games in Dodger Stadium were contested as record heat unfolded over Southern California. Game 1 set a record for warmest MLB postseason game ever with a high of 103 F. For the second game, highs were in the mid-90s around first pitch

Def interested to see if there is any leaks coming out about these juiced balls. Im a huge baseball fan and I was having this conversation with a friend the other day.I fee like the heat in LA played a major factor. No denying the homerun totals though, that is what makes me raise my eyebrow.
