Would those changes also be in the opposite direction? In my Oriental universe the ballparks have high factors for doubles and triples, and low factors for hits and homers. Three out of those four seem to be working. There are a ton of doubles and triples being hit, and few homers, but there are also a ton of singles. Is this just because hitters are better than pitchers in that league?

Based on RonCo's posts above the answer would seem to be increase hits. This would lower batting average, and if the hitters' average goes down presumably fewer runs would be scored. You could also decrease at bats, but doing that would decease everything (walks, homers, strikeouts, etc.)… which may or may not be exactly what you want.
