If homers drop off in 2018, which players and teams are helped or hurt the most?

Remember when 2016 was the new Year of the Homer, featuring the second-highest home run rate in MLB history and supplanting 1987 in terms of unexpectedness? Well, 2017 laughed at that notion and bumped the home rate by another 10 percent, setting a new all-time record at 1.26 home runs per team per game. So now the question is whether 2018 will surpass even last year's "Year of the Homer 2: Electric Boogaloo."
