A new analysis of home runs at Major League ballparks indicates the best place to sit to snag a home run ball at Dodger Stadium.
At Chavez Ravine, the sweet spot is in left-center field.
The analysis, released by Casino.org, puts the best seating area in Sections 301-313.
A heat map released by Baseball Savant backs up that assessment, with the most home runs by far landing near sections 309 and 311.
The numbers showed center field is also a popular landing spot for homers, though there aren’t seats in straightaway center. Instead, that’s where Centerfield Plaza is.

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA – OCTOBER 17: Shohei Ohtani #17 of the Los Angeles Dodgers looks on after hitting a home run in the fourth inning against the Milwaukee Brewers in game four of the National League Championship Series at Dodger Stadium on October 17, 2025 in Los Angeles, California.

Where Else Can You Catch a Home Run?
Left, right and right-center field were far below the home run rates of left-center and center field.
Left field is the most-likely spot among those three, but avoid right and right-center field, which are each about half as likely a landing spot as center field is.
The worst place to sit, per Baseball Savant, is right field, especially along the right field line.
The Casino.org numbers backed that up, with right field garnering a lower share of home runs than any other part of the outfield.
Of course, if you’re really serious about grabbing a homer, bring your glove to the Coca-Cola Home Run Seats, located just over the outfield wall.
Those seats are actually barstools that come with drink rails, as well as all-inclusive food and non-alcoholic beverages.
Whose Home Run Are You Likely to Catch?
Obviously, Shohei Ohtani hits a lot of home runs, breaking the team record with 55 last season.
But four other Dodgers also hit at least 20: Andy Pages with 27, Teoscar Hernandez with 25, Freddie Freeman with 24 and Mookie Betts with 20.
With players like Pages and Betts looking to rebound after rough stretches at the plate last season, it’s possible they could hit even more this season.
Plus, new addition Kyle Tucker hit 22 home runs for the Chicago Cubs last year, though he’s hit 30 home runs in two different seasons and 29 in another.
Whose home run do you want to catch this year, and where are you going to sit to grab it?
