April 11, 201313 yr This was brought up in another thread and I wanted to discuss it more. Obviously, the winner of the all-star game currently determines home field advantage for the World Series. What do you think should determine home field advantage for the WS?
April 11, 201313 yr Manager with the most armbands. But on a serious note, it should be overall wins. Edited April 11, 201313 yr by HammerTime
April 11, 201313 yr With schedule not being balanced total wins may not be fair. Teams now play about half of their games against division foes, so if your in a weak division you would have a total wins advantage over a team from a very competitive division. That said I would prefer that over the All-Star game solution.
April 11, 201313 yr Best-of-five potato sack races between the starting pitching rotations. Give those fourth and fifth starters something meaningful to do in the playoffs.
April 11, 201313 yr Whichever league has the best inter league record wins the home field advantage. I like this but the national league has the marlins and the cubs, its unfair to the NL.

April 11, 201313 yr Author Whichever league has the best inter league record wins the home field advantage. That's what I was thinking. Best overall record isn't fair to traditionally strong divisions.
April 11, 201313 yr Whichever league has the best inter league record wins the home field advantage.I like this idea the best so far
April 11, 201313 yr I'm for either rotating it or giving it to the league with the best interleague record. I think the interleague record is even more relevant now that there is an interleague series every day.
April 11, 201313 yr Rotate it or have the previous winner of the WS have home field. The reasons for not giving it to best record is that they would not know which city would be hosting up until the last game of the LCS so they would not have enough time to get everything ready plus hotels. I have read this a few years ago.
