The baseball playoffs are BACK. And that means Pick YOUR Team is BACK. The first version of the event took place last year; Jacob B. beat out the other 58 competitors and took home the $50 prize. That same cash prize is also BACK.
This game is pretty simple. From the 2017 playoff teams, you must construct a team of players. The only stipulation is that you must have at least one player from each of the 10 playoff teams. Scoring will be a rotisserie system with the following stat categories: OBP, SLG, HR, RBI, SB and ERA, WHIP, SO, W, SV. Your team will contain these positions: C, 1B, 2B, SS, 3B, OF, OF, OF, DH, SP, SP, SP, SP, RP, RP, RP, RP, RP. The team that wins the league will win $50 ($25 from both of us). If I win, Paul will pay me $25. And if Paul wins...yeah you're right, there's no chance of that.

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.
