homering
Hitting it out
Homering is making biased calls or judgments that favor one's own side, especially in sports officiating.
A referee homering gives questionable calls to the home team.
The term extends beyond sports to any situation where someone shows obvious favoritism: The judge was clearly homering for the prosecution.
From home run in baseball, though the bias sense relates more to "home team."
