Cover my bases...

You don't think I covered my bases? You thought I wasn't gonna be ready for tricks?

Don't try anything cute.

Yes. I believe it comes from baseball, having a person protecting all the bases from whatever action may come after the batter hits the ball. It could also be from the general population, as well, using 'base' as any starting point.
