So I am pretty impressed by your 6 straight wins at home in games 19-24, not trying to rain on your parade...
Speaker is my only true lefty starter other than my DH vs RHP (O'Doul). My switch hitters are all 1L/R so I thought it would be a good balance. Frisch and Bancroft are not deep flyball hitters (not sure if Mackie would count as a "power" hitter) so they didn't really factor into the park equation for me, I mainly wanted their OBP above average defense and speed. The other switch hitter, Mackie, I took primarily as I love having a stud defensive catcher when I play baseball sims and his offense looked not bad. I was shooting for balance overall and hoping Greenberg and Hafey (Cuyler has been a disaster) would be just enough edge at home. Maybe I should have gone with another park if I was going for balance. So far so good though
I wonder if a better idea might be a league w/ a limit on the BP effect HRs of the parks- no park with a BP HR effect above a certain #, say 10
Some else earlier mentioned halving park effects in ATG online only sine the amount of deep flyball hitter cards there are (or something along those lines.) I don't feel qualified to say at this point.
