Chris Davis is trending in the right direction

Orioles first baseman Chris Davis led the majors in home runs in 2013 and 2015, which bodes well for this odd-numbered season if the on-again, off-again sequence holds.

Davis had 53 homers and an MLB-leading 138 RBI in 2013 and 47 homers and 117 RBI in 2015. He has averaged 32 homers and 80 RBI in the three even-numbered years that he has been a full-season player in Baltimore.

Of course, there is every reason to think it's more odd statistical quirk than actual trend, but manager Buck Showalter is all for it continuing -- though just through this year.
