FACTS/FLUKES: Happ, Castellanos, D. Santana, Porcello, and Voit

Happ's value slips... Coming into the 2019 season, J.A. Happ (LHP, NYY) was a mid-round target with a 124 BPV in 2018. The southpaw's 17 wins, 193 strikeouts, 3.65 ERA, and 1.13 WHIP contributed to the second-highest R$ of his career. Through 63 IP in 2019, his 55 strikeouts, 4.83 ERA, and 1.22 WHIP have led to $3 of R$. Can he improve, or should owners be worried?
