NL DH, inevitable?

[A Black Falcon]

I was thinking about it... in the last 13 years (1995-2007, since after the strike and the last expansion), AL East teams have won 6 World Series (4 NY, 2 Boston), AL Central teams 2 World Series (1 Chicago, 1 Detroit), AL West teams 1 World Series (1 Anaheim), and NL East teams 3 World Series (2 Florida, 1 Atlanta), and NL West teams 1 World Series (1 Arizona). That's 9-4 AL... and 46% AL East. While overall that's not bad balance -- a lot of those were not expected -- there's a definite AL advantage here.
