Considering Swisher's career H/A split, a .006 point difference, I'd say that we're witnessing an anomaly this season that could be easily fixed by a small hot streak in NYS.

For starters, he probably beginning his decline as a hitter. Secondly, he's a left-handed hitter and YS is very friendly to him. YS should help Swisher as well but for some unexplainable reason, he's not hitting at home... Damon’s numbers make more sense. For starters, he probably beginning his decline as a hitter.
