As you hopefully saw, last year's Over/Under/Never wrapped up last night. Which means, with the season starting tomorrow (today, when you're likely reading this) it's time to get the 2019 events under way!
The rules, if you don't know them, are simple. Below are a series of events. For the first category, state whether you think the event will occur before (UNDER) or after (OVER) the listed date, or not at all (NEVER).
For the second category, state whether you think the number indicated, including playoffs for season totals if necessary, will be greater (OVER) or lesser (UNDER) than the number given.
Finally, in the third category, just take a shot in the dark and give your answer. If you think 220,000,000 people will visit Citizen's Bank Park this year, put that in. Who knows, you might be right.

Finally, and if you get this wrong, I will be very disappointed: will the Braves be obnoxious?
That's it! Fill in your answers in the comments below, and may the preciseest prognosticator prevail! Answers will be open until approximately when I feel like it, which is usually the first week or so of the season. If you get your answer in after an event has happened, please act like it didn't.
