NL teams vs the field
This is for 2005-2010.
First column is performance against other NL teams. Second column is performance against all AL teams. Diff is the difference between the two. 13 of the 16 NL teams perform worse against AL teams than NL teams. Colorado however has a huge reverse-split. Presumably (speculatively?), AL teams are so disoriented playing at Coors that it confers a huge home field advantage to Colorado.
And the playoffs guarantees 4 teams in the NL and 4 teams in the AL every year? Ridiculous. I’d guarantee 3 teams from each league, and whichever league has the better interconference record gets to send 5 teams in all (with one of the 5 swapping to the other league). Ridiculous? Just trying to be ridiculous but fair, rather than ridiculous and unfair.
