Javier Baez o/u .275 Batting Average
Guys, I’m not a complete homer here. Javier Baez was elevated to a bigger role last year, starting 30 more games than in 2016. He hit .273, in 505 plate appearances. However, even though his power will remain in 2018, Baez is expected to get even more playing time as the regular second baseman and get his 600 trips to the plate. He simply swings and misses too much for me to think he’ll hit over .275 in 2018.
So, take the under. (-115)
All right, so those were my five locks for the 2018 season, but there are still more prop bets to talk about.
