What is "Home Field Advantage" comes up from time to time and I always wonder why no one points to the fact that last at bat mathematically gives you the advantage. Although each team gets 9 innings, there is no visiting team "answer" to a lead run scored in the bottom of the last inning, 9th or otherwise.

If two exact same teams played 100 games with one always being visitors and the other always home, the home team will win more often as a result of the last at bat.
