We close with a review of three-year averages for the 17 teams that competed in the MMDA continuously from 2012 to 2014

| 20 | Northwest | Pacific | 8 | 6 | 7 | 5 | 80 | 0.902 |
Based on the weighted value for ballpark singles and home runs—and the league's left/right split of 28/72—we would expect Death Valley (107) to finish with the highest park factor and California (87) with the lowest. They didn't miss by much.

Based on the weighted value for ballpark singles and home runs, we would expect Wilmington (129) to finish with the highest park factor and Spokane (88) with the lowest. The Razorbacks lived up to expectations, while the Crows finished fourth from the bottom.

Based on the weighted value for ballpark singles and home runs, we would expect Northeast (114) to finish with the highest park factor and Michigan (85) with the lowest. Reality met with expectation in an eerie way during the 2012 season, because the Huskies finished just off the pace and the since-relocated Lakers featured little offense in an all-twos ballpark.
