MLB analysis (English)Sources: schedules, probable starters and venues come from the MLB Stats API (statsapi.mlb.com) schedule endpoint; standings, team hitting and pitching splits and individual player lines come from the standings, teams/stats and stats endpoints of the same API, all queried directly on September 16, 2026. Park run index is calculated here as a venue’s runs per game divided by the league average of 8.99 runs per game across 2,256 completed regular-season games (venues with fewer than 20 games are omitted). Probable starters and lineups can change up to first pitch. KBO figures come from Daum Sports league and team record pages (the KBO official site blocks crawling), and NPB figures come from npb.jp official standings and team stats pages, both checked on September 16, 2026 KST. KBO starters are listed by ERA only here because romanised spellings for some names are not officially published; the Korean edition carries the full names.
