If you're a true sports fan, you've probably lost sleep wondering if jet lag affects the performance of your favorite teams.
如果你是鐵桿體育迷，你可能會通宵熬夜，想要知道時差是否會影響你所喜愛的球隊的表現。
You're not the only one.
許多人和你一樣。
To answer this important question, scientists analyzed three years of major league baseball games to see if they could find a link between jet lag, and home field advantage.
為了回答這個重要的問題，科學家們分析了職業棒球大聯盟三年的比賽，看看能否找出時差和主場優勢之間的聯系。
They discovered that baseball teams playing at home won over half the time. However, if the visiting team had just traveled eastward, say, from L.A. to New York, the home team scored more runs.
他們發現主場比賽的棒球隊贏的次數超過半數。然而，如果客隊是剛剛去過東部，比如說從洛杉磯去紐約，主隊會多贏幾輪。
If the visiting team had just traveled west, this didn't affect the point spread.
如果客隊去過西部，則不會影響比分。
These findings support other studies that show that traveling east is harder on your body than traveling west.
這些發現支持了其他一些研究，即向東旅行對身體的的負擔要比向西重。
