Starting on Saturday August 4th, I have been keeping track of homers in the MLB.
Thru August 6th, the avg amount of homers per game was 1.974, and per team was .987
Thru that three game span, the average was 2.211 HR per game, 1.105 HR per team. (Saturday there was 41 homers hit over 15 games, Sunday there was 22 homers over 14 games, and on monday there was 21 homers in 9 games).
During that time the Mets played two games, and had 2 homers. that would mean they were over the HR per team average for the season, but not for those three games.
The next several days, Tuesday to Saturday, the numbers took a dip. HR per game went to 1.930 and HR per team went .965. Both of these numbers are below the Season average.
During these 5 games, the mets hit 5 homers, keeping at the 1.00 HR per game pace. Putting them above the league average for the team for those five days, and the season.
On Sunday, there was a big boost of power, as in 15 games, the MLB blasted 37 homers, which makes the avg to 2.467 HR per game, and 1.233 HR per team. When that data is applied to the numbers collected from tuesday to saturday, the HR per game at 2.023 and HR per team to 1.012.
The numbers for the entire period were 2.081 homers per game, and 1.040 homers per team.
So overall, there has been more homers in the past few days than the season average. This mostly due to the very calm April that still offsets the Season average. As another note, during these 9 days, the Mets played 8 games, in those 8 games, they hit 11 homers (they were averaging exactly one a game until sunday when they hit 4 homers)
