Day four of vacation. Last summer in South Haven, I remember debating which combo was better, Kris Bryant and Anthony Rizzo or Carlos Correa and Jose Altuve. At the time, I was team Bryzzo. But a year later, I'd have to switch to Cortuve. Both duos have been great over the past two and a half years.

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. Think you know more about baseball than us? You probably do. But go ahead and prove it anyway.
