FACTS/FLUKES: Rizzo, Bradley, Inciarte, McCarthy, Forsythe

Rizzo remains rock solid … When we last checked in with Anthony Rizzo (1B, CHC) back on July 8, 2017, he had 19 HR, but his .263 batting average wasn’t up to his usual standard. We outlined why there was no reason to worry (strong plate skills, unlucky h%) and sure enough, he batted .284 with 12 HR the rest of the way to notch his fourth consecutive 30+ HR season. What should fantasy owners expect in 2018?
