Who's Afraid Of The National League?

The American League's dominance is borne out in wins and losses as well as statistical analysis. Below you'll find the AL beating up on the NL (approximately 60%-40% in overall ratings [including strength of schedule] and exactly 57.5%-42.5% on the field of play).

Four divisions also prove their overall ratings with the same ranking in pure wins and losses: the AL East, NL Central, AL West, and NL West are ranked #1, #2, #3, and #6, respectively, in both Baseball Playoffs Now's analysis and win-loss rankings. And even though the NL East is marginally better than the AL Central on the field, the Central gets a big boost in the rankings because much of their schedule is made up of other strong American League clubs. The NL East, on the other hand, has no such claim.

Finally, I'd like to point out exactly how far apart 57.5% (the current AL interleague record) is from its NL counterpart. Were the AL a single ballclub, it would be on pace to win over 93 games this season. The National League doesn't clear 69.
