Baseball is here! And more importantly, that means the over/under game is back. It seems as though everyone is an expert this time of year. Somehow we convince ourselves that we are better at predicting baseball outcomes than everyone else. Well, AFITB is putting that to the test for the third year in a row. To see how the results ended in 2016 and 2017, click here and here.
Think you know more about baseball than us? You probably do. But go ahead and prove it anyway. Here's the link to our contest. We explain the scoring system over there. At the end of the year, we'll buy the winner a baseball of his/her choosing (within reason, people).
If you have questions, please let us know. You can tweet at us (@afootinthebox), email us (afootinthebox@gmail.com), or simply comment on this post. Good luck!
