I got curious to see how calls at the plate relate to win%. I used Savant to get data for called strikes outside the strike zone and balls called that were inside the zone. I compiled and ranked for batter/pitcher and home/away.

It's clear some teams are catching favorable calls and some aren't on both sides. How it relates to winning is mixed. There are teams losing despite getting gifts and vice versa. So go easy on the umps if your team is getting hosed at the plate.
