Interleague Dominance
With interleague play over after this weekend, we were talking about the fact that the American League has been very dominant this year (the Sox are 12-3 right now).
To me, in the National League you have the pitcher hitting at 9, usually a weaker defensive-type play hitting at 8, and sometimes a weak hitter at 7, so you have 2 or 3 players in your lineup that aren't going to give you much offense.
The American League offenses right now are built 1-9 and are much more potent. Also, the pitching for the National League doesn't seem to be as strong as it used to be. Put it all together and you get the lopsided results we've seen this year.
