Everyone is an expert this time of year. Somehow we each convince ourselves that we are better at predicting baseball outcomes than anyone else. Well, AFITB is putting that to the test in 2016. On our most recent podcast episode, Paul and I took on each other, Vegas, and PECOTA. It was a way for us to preview each team, with the added benefit of being able to lord the title of baseball expert over the other at season's end.
Like I said on the podcast, we want to open that contest up to you as well! 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 of this little contest a free baseball book of his/her choosing. Personally, I am most excited about these two books right now. If I correctly pick all 30 teams, each of you is required to buy and read my first book, World Domination: How I Beat PECOTA and Vegas.
