Two variables into 1 variable

I have two variables that I am trying to make 1 variable. 

import requests
from pprint import pprint

req = requests.get('https://www.fantasylabs.com/api/sportevents/4/02_03_2018/team-ratings/')
data = req.json()

for event in data:
    ed = event['EventDetails']
    prop = ed['Properties']
    home = prop['HomeTeamShort']
    away = prop['VisitorTeamShort']
    teams = home, away

    print(home,away)

Results:

PHI OTT
MTL ANA
WPG COL
NYI CLB
NJD PIT
FLA DET
BUF STL
BOS TOR
NAS NYR
DAL MIN
CGY CHI
VAN TB
LA ARI

With the teams variable above i would like to make them 1. How do i make it so both names are in the teams variable?

As is, teams has this shape: (home, away).

You could use a join statement to print the elements of team as a single string:

print(" ".join(teams))

>>>PHI OTT

I would create a dictionary for a little bit of hierarchy.

teams = {"home": home, "away": away}

This way you could reference them with the same variable, but they maintain their distinctiveness.

print(teams["home"] + " vs. " + teams["away"])

If you just want to concatenate the two values, and not access them separately, then you can just say

teams = home + ' ' + away
