The change is going to affect both teams equally. Your team, which hit few home runs before, will now hit none at all. Those teams which used to outhomer you at a 3:2 ratio will now outhomer you at 2:1. But, then again, if teams were outhomering you 16:1 maybe they would now just outhomer you 8:1 or so.

Unless your team composition is very extreme, it's hard to get a clear, consistent advantage by manipulating park factors.
