FACTS/FLUKES: Bryant, Flowers, Williamson, Chacin, F. Vazquez

Will Bryant turn things around?... Kris Bryant (3B, CHC) fell short of expectations in the power department in 2017, as he connected for just 29 home runs after hitting 39 the previous season. So far in 2018, he's hit just nine homers in 298 plate appearances, and has put up a .247/.320/.360 line across his last 100 plate appearances. Is there any cause for concern?
