Posit: The AL is at a bigger disadvantage in interleague games. [View all]

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.
