.235batting average, day game after a night game

Home hitters batted .235 in games that immediately followed a night game at the same park, versus .253 in every other home game with a recorded first pitch (z = -3.0). A modest dip — consistent with a short-rest effect, though the gap is small next to normal day-to-day variance. 29,551 at-bats · 1,091 games with known first pitch
