Pray for rain. Anything to give an advantage. Crank the AC; increase the density in the air, slow down movements and flight of path.
Why Dude, do you say that?
Well good sir, density of normal 21 degree air at sea level os 0.075 lbs / cubic foot. Currently, in most of Mexico, those guys are used to playing at 30 degrees, and in Monterrey, at an elevation of 1770'. Due to elevation, it actually reduces the density to 0.0684 lbs / cf.
Lowering the temperature to, say, 5 deg C will increase density to 0.0793. Thus, slowing the path of flight on a ball, and increasing normal air resistance.
The increase in air density will favor the local team's lungs more, as the cold air discomfort, and cold muscles, will more than offset any extra oxygen they can draw in.
Science wins again.
Not enough of a difference you say? Well good sir, you may be right. But I say we need every advantage we can get in chasing a miracle.
