No, Here is a general description of how Park factors affect the game.

Ball Park Factors are a +/- % to the norm. So if the average # of HR's hit in a Park was 100, a park factor of 1.100 would produce 110 HR's in that park. A factor of .900 would produce 90 HR's But it is a generalized stat in the fact that plenty of other factors play a part in how many are actually hit. Park Factors are a good way to give you an Idea of what kind of team you want to build. If your HR for LHB was 1.250 It you might want to get some Solid LH Power Hitters to take advantage of that.

On the same note if all your factors were below 1.000 You have a Pitchers Park and should take that into consideration when putting your team together.

All factors work the same for every category, so what they add up too is irrelevant
