Related: About this forumPosit: The AL is at a bigger disadvantage in interleague games.
Because most of their pitchers don't know how to hit when the game is at a NL park.
So why has the AL won more interleague games? In the 17 years of interleague games, the AL has more wins in all but 4 years. And the NL hasn't won the season series since 2003.

I say it is because the AL is just the better league. The DH makes all the players better. They aren't dulled by the boredom found in the NL.

And yes, because of the continuous interleage games, the writing is on the wall for the regressive Nationals.
