Pretty much Comerica is the 11th best hitter's park in the Major Leagues. The AL East is known as Hitter's Division and any park on the West Coast is a Pitcher's Park. COL is by far the best Hitter's park, followed by TEX.
While CLE might be considered Park Neutral as a whole, it is friendly to Left-Handed hitters and hurts Right-Handed hitters.
