CC Sabathia is due for a correction in his favor, and that should come Tuesday when the Yankees host the Phillies.

Philadelphia is the last team to reach 100 runs scored at home in 2015. It took nearly 40% of their home games to do so. Their 13 home runs are far and away the lowest in the Majors on the road, and their OPS of .623 is the second worst by .001 percent. The Phillies average a home run every 93.0 at-bats, and that is worst in baseball by 30 at-bats.

It’s a small sample size, but the current Phillies hitters to face CC have a combined slash line of .265/.308/.306. That line in includes two extra-base hits -- doubles -- among 13 hits and nine strikeouts in 43 at-bats.

His start against the Houston Astros in Houston is avoidable. The Astros are just outside of the top 10 in runs scored at home and lead the Majors in home runs.
