Yankees need Happ to be as good at home as he is on road

In 2018, J.A Happ finished 7-0 for the Yankees with an ERA of just 2.69. He excelled, only allowing 19 earned runs in 11 starts. This season, however, it has been a completely different tale for Happ.

Through seven starts, he has allowed 21 earned runs which is the most allowed by a Yankees pitcher. He has also allowed 40 hits, which is again the most on the staff.

At Yankee Stadium this season, he is 0-3 with an inflated ERA of 7.35 in four starts. One of the issues with his home outings has been his propensity for giving up the long ball.
