AL v. NL in 2011
It is generally accepted in the sabermetric community that the AL is a better league than the NL, at least for the last several years. This is evidenced by the fact that the AL has a large advantage in IL games, although at least some of that edge could be something other than overall “talent”, although this is not likely and several people, including myself, have found little or no inherent advantage to the AL in IL games (e.g., the NL teams do not have any DH’s, so they have to juggle their lineup in AL parks, on the other hand, in NL parks, AL teams have to sit their DH’s or juggle their lineup, perhaps putting a bad defender - their DH - in the field, the AL pitchers typically are poorer hitters than the NL pitchers, etc.).
