how do I read ballpark factors

what does (ave .990/1.012, HR .899/.880)

Is it Ave R/L, HR R\L where numbers greater than 1 provide a boost and less than 1 is a suppress?

That is how I read it too, but I just found out it’s L/R instead of R/L - which makes total sense considering that’s the order alphabetically and the right way directionally too…

But, yeah I believe 1 is average. Below 1 is pitcher friendly and above 1 is hitter friendly.
